Mets On The Move

New York Mets front office staff visited P.S. 61K in Brooklyn for the Mets on the Move after-school fitness program presented by Subway. Employees along with Mr. Met helped run the Mets-inspired workout and motivate the kids to stay active and healthy.

The Mets on the Move health and wellness initiative gives children a fun way to learn about fitness through an interactive four-week workout curriculum. Each participant that completed the workout every week received various Mets-themed prizes.

The Mets and Subway partnered with 20 after-school programs and 1,000 students across New York City for this initiative. To learn more about Mets on the Move, please click below.

NYPD Baseball Clinic

The Mets visited the Harlem Little League with the NYPD Baseball team to run a baseball clinic, as part of the Junior Mets program presented by UnitedHealth Care. The clinic's purpose is to help build better relationships with local police officers and youth in the community.

Harlem Little League also took part in the Sandlot Stars program, which provides local youth teams with baseball or softball equipment donated by the Mets Foundation.

Baseball Fundamentals

Mr. Met and Mets staff visited P.S. 330 in Corona, Queens to teach students basics of baseball during the fourth installment of Junior Mets Baseball FUNdamental clinics presented by UnitedHealth Care. Baseball FUNdamentals helps create an interest in baseball to those who do not have the opportunity to play.

Throughout the year, the Mets go to local elementary schools surrounding Citi Field to help educate students on the importance of staying active and healthy through the sport of baseball. The kids learn the essentials of baseball: fielding, ground balls, throwing a baseball, swinging a bat and more during their gym class.

The Mets donated bats, balls, gloves, rubber plates and batting tees to P.S. 330 to utilize throughout the year.
