Sports/Recreation

We are a competitive Double Dutch team from Boston, Milton, Quincy and Pembroke.  Our team members include girls & boys who are in Grade 2 through high school.   Our mission is to share the sport of  Double Dutch with others while encouraging physical activity, teamwork and fun.  In conjunction with the Red Auerbach Youth Foundation we believe in the value of sports and athletics to the healthy development, both physical and emotional, of children.

Brandy Cruthird established Body By Brandy 4 Kidz in 2005. Spurred by alarming reports of childhood obesity and the related health risks, she decided to research these disturbing statistics, and, after working with several hospitals, found it apparent that change was necessary. Locally, 35% of children under the age of six are overweight or obese - 15% more than the national average. Believing that these numbers were simply unacceptable for our community to ignore, Brandy developed the Fitness in the City and Fit Kidz programs. We believe that the only way to change these statistics is to encourage our children to exercise and maintain a balanced diet. As a result of this vision, every day fitness programming is offered at the gym to those in need.

The mission of the network is to connect and unify Boston’s diverse park and community stakeholders. We aim to build our capacity, share resources and information, raise public awareness, and strengthen the collective impact of our network members to influence public park policy and increase support for the range of urban parks and open spaces.

Temple of Martial Arts (TOMA) is a non-profit organization geared toward the inner-city youth. Martial arts classes are a great way for children to release extra energy in a safe and constructive environment. The highly trained staff at the Temple of Martial Arts channels the students’ energy in a positive way while teaching personal life skills such as self-discipline, respect, and courtesy.

The goal of the Dorchester Ducks is to bring a Football championship to the City of Boston (Dorchester). Outside of Football, we aspire to be a organization that helps those in need. Whether it is visiting schools, volunteering at shelters or elderly service centers. We hope that through our efforts the men who grow and bond with us will be examples for the generations that will proceed us. Football is our passion, but enriching the lives of the youth that look up to us is our long term goal.
