AAHPERD debuts series of FREE webinars about the new Presidential Youth Fitness Program

Word has spread fast since the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition announced it is phasing out its Youth Fitness Test, which dates back to 1966, and replacing it with the Presidential Youth Fitness Program. Now, to help further explain the program, the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD) is conducting a series of free webinars. To sign up for these free webinars, go to www.presidentialyouthfitnessprogram.org and click on “Professional Development” or see schedule below and follow the links to view a past webinar recording or register for the next webinar in the series.
