On Tuesday, May 24, D.C. United defender Sean Franklin, along with program partner Medstar Family Choice, helped kick-off the team's new ā€œGet Fit with DCUā€ school program and visited students at Whittier Education Campus in NW D.C. 


During his visit, Franklin spoke to students about the importance of healthy eating habits before leading a series of stretches, followed by 60 minutes of soccer drill stations and small-sided games. 


Get Fit with DCU is a D.C. United school initiative program aimed at motivating children to participate in at least an hour of physical activity per day, in conjunction with learning about and establishing a healthy lifestyle. Through the program, local elementary and middle school students will have a chance to hear first-hand how United players follow these same principals on and off the field.
