GreenLaces’ own Green Your Game programs are built to improve our planet by through “ATHLETE I.C.E.” - Inspiration action, Connecting a community and Educating our youth.

Rather than educating our youth in the classroom, Green Your Game programs incorporate environmental education into after school programs and athletic teams. Currently we have 2 programs.

1. Green Your Game, Kids! - is a week-long set of 10 minute eco-educational warm up drills that coaches or after-school mentors can implement to create a “Green Week” within their groups. The drills incorporate lessons on waste, water, energy and transportation.
2.Sponsor a kid! - By donating between $50 and $100 you can sponsor a child to attend a local professional team’s “Green Game.” Your donation will provide a ticket to a professional game, a meal, a pair of GreenLaces and an educational talk from a “GreenLaces” pro athlete after their game.
