Since the 1970s, the percentage of children and adolescents affected by obesity has more than tripled in the United States.
And no wonder — with the rise in convenient technologies, unhealthy foods, and more sedentary lifestyles, the appeal and interest in physical activity has taken a backseat.
And while multiple studies have shown that school-based policies and after-school programs that increase physical activity are an incredibly powerful way to battle this epidemic and improve academic performance, it’s still a struggle to implement. It seems budgets keep getting smaller, classes keep getting bigger, and instructors’ responsibilities keep increasing.
So with this in mind, Skillastics® was founded to change the world of physical activity.
We wanted to create positive experiences around physical activity for kids while making life easier for you and/or your staff with simple, easy-to-implement activities that allow for maximum participation in a fun, high energy atmosphere.
And since we began in 2002, we’ve helped dedicated instructors just like you in over 25,000 educational settings easily motivate kids to move, learn, and have fun, and we look forward to helping you do the same.

“We love the Skillastics® activities! Most of our KidREACH sites meet at churches where we don’t have the space, gym equipment, or storage for some physical activities. Skillastics® is wonderful because it doesn’t take much space to use, it requires little equipment, and stores compactly. It has been the perfect fit for us!”

“The kids love it. They are out of breath by the time we’re done playing and they ask for more. It’s invaluable in my classroom and I love sharing it with everyone else at my school.”
Cynthia Perez
Academic Dean, Wright Elementary School
“One of the things we’ve seen with STEM Skillastics is that our students aren’t seeing PE separate from the learning that happens in the classroom. They’re making the connection that learning happens everywhere, and we’re seeing the impact that it’s having on our kids.”
Award-winning recommended resource & partnership
Skillastics is aligned with a number of national guidelines, including National Physical Education Standards, HEPA Standards, SEL Competencies, California Expanded Learning Quality Standards, and the Next Generation Science Standards (STEM Skillastics).
