Play Unplugged Summer Program with the HUB Sports Center



The HUB Sports Center is bringing the Play UnPlugged program to the Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake communities. In partnership with the Central Valley, East Valley and West Valley school districts, elementary school students will be encouraged to 'Play Unplugged' this summer and collect 'Brag Badges' from local businesses when they complete a designated activity. There are 38 different activities available so far for summer 2018. Each badge is worth a designated amount of 'brag points'. Students can strive for additional prizes by achieving various levels of brag points.

The website to see the activity list is www.weplayunplugged.com then selecting the 'Let's Play' button. The program runs from June 1 through August 31.

The idea for Play UnPlugged originated from two Heber City, Utah fathers who wanted to help their kids avoid the increasing screen addition time youth are facing in today's society which can lead to obesity, poor social skills and diabetes. "Our goal is to provide the community with summer programs that would emphasize on kids unplugging themselves from video games, television shows, movies and event their mobile devices," said Play UnPlugged co-Founder Corbin Gordon.

Students will be given a lanyard and program information via a school assembly between mid-May and mid-June. HUB Sports Center will have a limited supply of addition lanyards available, but once the limited supplies of lanyards are given away the HUB will not be receiving any more. (Lanyards are not required for participation in the program.)

For more information, call the HUB Sports Center at 509-927-0602 or visit www.hubsportscenter.org.
