The State of Play: Keeping Kids Active in a Changing World

10-11 a.m. Pacific time

In times of crisis, the world has often turned to sports for comfort and camaraderie. But during the COVID-19 pandemic, sports have been severely restricted and kids are feeling the effects. As such, how can we keep children active while at home? And with young athletes being away from team sports longer than usual, how can they avoid significant injuries when they do return?

Join UCSF experts as they discuss the benefits of physical activity, guidelines for safely returning to group activities, and how to ensure young athletes are ready to go back to organized sports.
