The USO Sports & Fitness Program is more than fun recreational activities – it is a way for service members and military families alike to focus on improving their health and connecting with their community.

During long deployments or duty stations far from traditional support networks, having a healthy outlet that focuses on wellness can be crucial for all members of the military community. For service members, this program can help reduce stress, improve both physical and mental well-being, as well as connect them to their fellow service members – all keeping them in top shape for operational readiness. Meanwhile, military families can come together – connecting with each other and their loved ones – through health-focused activities, offering a point of connection otherwise missing in new, unfamiliar homes.

With fitness challenges, wellness events and recreational sports and classes, this program provides a wide range of activities that allow the people who serve – and their families – to move, connect and thrive, no matter where in the world their mission takes them.
