Active is back this spring!
South Carolina Athletics would like to invite you to participate in spring’s 2025 Active Gamecocks presented by Healthy Blue. We’re excited to be a part of encouraging your students to stay active.
What is Active Gamecocks?
South Carolina Athletics is excited to continue its initiative of combating increasing problems in childhood obesity. An incentive-based program, Active Gamecocks strives to foster elementary and middle school students’ interests in sports and physical activity.
Note: due to NCAA compliance regulations, only students in grades K – 8 can participate.
Through Active Gamecocks, we encourage elementary and middle school physical education teachers to challenge their students to keep a log of all physical activity done outside of the classroom over a two-week time period. The goal we’ve set this year for students is to complete a total of 400 minutes of physical activity, or an average of 30 minutes a day, outside of the classroom throughout the two weeks. Every student that reaches the 400-minute goal will receive a voucher for two tickets (one student, one guardian) to one Gamecock softball and baseball game. Teachers that participate in the program will also receive a voucher for two tickets to both softball and baseball games.
Participation window is a 10-week time period open from January 9th to March 20th for teachers to complete their two weeks. Registration will be available after the window begins.
The schedule for Active Gamecocks is as follows:
- January 9: Participation window opens
- Teachers may register at any time and choose which two weeks (14 consecutive days) to participate
- Once two weeks is completed, totals can be collected and submitted to through the Totals Form below even if the window hasn’t closed yet
