Spring Into Sports

Navidad gives children the tools to improve physical fitness and encourage outdoor play and activity through sports equipment access and personal sports ball ownership via the Spring into Sports project. Navidad has distributed almost 12,000 soccer balls, footballs, basketballs and baseballs directly to children to develop fitness habits that will stay with them for life. 

The Spring into Sports project consists of several elements:

Annually, local social service agencies, schools, churches and recreation center program participants are selected to receive sports balls and equipment donations to form sports teams or enhance their limited sports equipment inventory at their individual sites for children to use daily.

Families in five counties Dallas, Collin, Denton, Tarrant and Johnson are chosen to receive sports balls with their learning toys for gifts during the holidays.

Ball Blast donations are sports balls given directly to individual children who attend and participate in the Family Fitness Festival or attend an agency on-site Ball Blast Field Day.
