FAA’s Step Into Sports Challenge

Details: Published: July 14, 2016

As PASS members know, PASS has partnered with the FAA and NATCA to promote a healthier work environment, including tips and advice on how to stay Fully Charged. One way to stay healthy and alert—and, in this case, win prizes—is to take part in the FAA’s Step Into Sports Challenge.

The challenge is part of CafeWell, a free resource offered by the FAA that allows employees to privately and securely develop their own personal health programs and get rewarded for doing so. By registering with CafeWell, members have access to a variety of resources and tools to provide assistance on the journey to a healthier and fitter lifestyle.

The Step Into Sports Challenge is an agency-wide initiative that starts July 20. The challenge is touted as a fun and easy way to get healthier while discovering new sports, including surfing, sailing, baseball, soccer, running and cycling.

So, how does the challenge work? Simply follow these steps to get started—and to get healthier!

1. Start a team! Form teams of four to 10 colleagues.
