WHY CYCLING MATTERS


CCF Aims To Be A Part Of The Solution To These Statistics
  • only one in three children are physically active every day
  • only 4% of elementary schools and 8% middle schools now provide daily PE while the government health recommendation is 60 minutes exercise per day 
  • the average american child spends four to five hours a day in front of a screen (TV, computer, games)
  • overweight kids have a 70-80% chance of staying overweight their entire lives
  • overweight or non-active children are more prone to low self-esteem, negative body image and depression


"The LA84/CCF program has allowed my children to intensely pursue sporting excellence within a nurturing environment that stresses the ideals of true sportsmanship." 
Dr. Gary Woods, Superintendent of Schools, 
San Marino Unified School District
Exercise Builds Healthy Bodies and Minds 
  • physically active children have fewer chronic health problems
  • when children and teenagers develop healthy exercise habits, they're more likely to bring those habits into adulthood 
  • studies show that physical activity enhances important skills like concentration and problem solving, which can improve academic performance
  • regular exercise improves the function and performance of the brain
  • students participating in sport have a stronger self-image and more self-confidence
