WEST PALM BEACH, FL- The Palm Beach County Sports Commission teamed up with the Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC) of South Florida once again to present the 2013 Kids’ Fitness Festival of the Palm Beaches. One of South Florida’s favorite children’s events, the Kids’ Fitness Festival was held July 17th and 18th at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. Last year’s event drew over 5,000 Kids aged 5 to 13, all with an interest in sports.
The Kids’ Fitness Festival gave children the opportunity to learn and participate in over 40 different traditional and non-traditional sports. Some of the featured sports included: baseball, basketball, fencing, football, golf, lacrosse, martial arts, netball, tennis, soccer and more.
John Webster’s Golf Academy was on hand to partner with the South Florida PGA in delivering golf lessons to the juniors at the festival. Kids were immediately attracted to Golfzilla and there was often a long line of kids waiting to swing clubs. One of the more popular booths, golf saw many students coming back multiple times throughout the day. One junior who came back seven times, said “I love golf, I can’t get enough!”
A big thank you to John Webster and his Academy staff for helping to instruct the thousands of kids who came to get golf lessons!
