PLAY 60 / FUEL UP TO PLAY 60 JAGTAG - LONDON
NFL Play 60 is a national youth health and
fitness campaign focused on increasing the
wellness of children and teens by encourag-
ing them to be active for at least 60 minutes
a day. The Jaguars Foundation, Wolfson Chil-
dren’s Hospital, Georgia Healthcare Systems,
and the American Heart Association provide
grants to 70 schools in 8 counties across
northeast Florida and south Georgia. Expanding the NFL Play 60 initiative inter-
nationally, the Jaguars introduced JagTag
in London in 2015. The program was put in
place to teach youth participants non-tackle
techniques and the enjoyment of American
football. JagTag is now played in 114 London
schools with over 14,000 kids learning basic
techniques such as throwing, catching,
evading and defending. The Jaguars hope
to continue bringing the game of football to
thousands of fans in London while promoting
the importance of being active and living a
healthy lifestyle.
With Jaguars Play 60 helping to tackle
childhood obesity and encouraging today’s
youth to live healthier more active lives, the
program has impacted more than 8,000 sixth-
grade students in the past year. In addition,
Fuel Up to Play 60 partnered with the Dairy
Council of Florida to provide each Play 60
school with a plan on how to promote nutri-
tion, physical activity and healthy living to all
Play 60 students. Impacting over 2.5 million
students in 3,100 schools in Florida, Fuel Up
to Play 60 is changing lives every day.
