NASEF Beyond The Game Challenge: Why We Play and How We Practice

NASEF is excited to present a Beyond the Game™ Video Challenge. In our first Why We Play campaign, we asked scholastic and community organizations to share any existing content or create documentaries about their programs. We challenged you to tell us, “Why We Play.”

This year, we're adding another challenge asking you "how we practice."

Submissions are due May 13, 2024.
