COVID-19 Update: The 2020 Planning Committee has made the decision to postpone the Play Illinois Summit due to the developing and ongoing situation with COVID-19. A new date will be announced once further discussions take place. Please check the website for more details.
Play Illinois: A Sports and Public Health Summit is a one-day event that will convene sports-based youth development practitioners from across Illinois for workshops, networking, and discussions. Sports and play have become the social fabric of communities across Illinois, there is no better time than now to bring attention to the way they also address public health disparities. Focusing on Girls and Sports, Inclusive Programming, Sports for Emotional and Mental Health and Sports and Community Health are the pillars that will launch this effort as we look at the innovative ways they are part of public health.
