The NCAA Hall of Champions will host a free day of fun for youth this Monday, February 16 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will be no charge for admission the entire day.
The “Fun Day” will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will feature interactive exercise stations with former college athletes who will also talk about maintaining healthy lifestyles through fitness techniques. Youth will have the opportunity to earn prizes by visiting each healthy station. Stations will have nutritional information, free throw shooting, vertical jump activities, exercises and technical skill instruction with the sport simulators for soccer, baseball and football. The former college athletes will also discuss the importance of academics.
“We know parents might be looking for activities for their kids on President’s Day when many schools are out of session so we want to invite them to the NCAA Hall of Champions to have some fun and learn,” said Kelly Dodds, assistant director of the NCAA Hall of Champions. “Having a day where kids can interact with former college athletes who are role models, win prizes, play, and get a little education is a good way to spend a Monday. And, anyone who visits the Hall will be admitted free of charge.”
The NCAA Hall of Champions offers free days only twice a year, which includes Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The downtown Indianapolis attraction features interactive kiosks, educational exhibits and hands on sport displays that draw attention to the achievements of current and former NCAA student-athletes.
