Physical activity need not be vigorous
to improve health, according to the latest Surgeon General's Report.
Physical activity at a moderate level improves your mood and sense
of well-being. It gives you more energy and helps control weight.
It improves balance and bone and muscle strength, preventing falls
and fractures. It helps you live longer independently.
There are lots of ways to be physically active in Skagit County.
The list below is packed with information to help you find out
what is available in your area. To update or add a listing call

Skagit County Select Soccer, know as "NW United" is the select soccer organization in Skagit County and the Stanwood-Camano Island area of Snohomish County. Select soccer teams are comprised of boys and girls ages 10-18. Teams are formed in the spring following open tryouts. Typically, teams play several spring and summer tournaments and begin a fall season in September or February (depending on age group and gender.) Storm teams compete against other select soccer teams either in our district (North of Seattle) or State-wide. Storm provides high level training and competition for girls and boys committed to developing their understanding of the game and their ability to play it well. |
