Editor's note: The U.S. Soccer Foundation is a nonprofit organization that seeks to improve the health and well-being of children in urban economically disadvantaged areas using soccer as a vehicle for social change.

This past summer, the U.S. women’s soccer team brought home the gold from the 2012 London Olympic Games--showing America the true spirit of team work, and amazing us with their athletic abilities. They played a series of challenging games, but pulled together to win.

Soccer is a great sport that lets you be active while playing outside with your friends! Listen to U.S. Olympic Gold Medalists Nicole Barnhart and Becky Sauerbrunn share why they love soccer, and offer some tips for beginners:

Last May, U.S. Soccer Federation teamed up with Let’s Move! and the Partnership for a Healthier America to engage 12,000 youth in 13 cities through their Soccer for Success program, providing free, afterschool programming to urban youth. In 2011, the program reached 8,000 kids in 8 cities. Visit the Partnership for a Healthier America’s Olympics Page to learn more.

  • Soccer allows kids the chance to build relationships with other players; having players with different responsibilities encourages communication and cooperation while developing a sense of team.
  • Keep the ball on the ground: A ball on the ground is easier to control and can be moved more effectively by the team.
  • Playing soccer combines basic motor skills like walking, running or jumping with soccer skills like dribbling and shooting. It is great for cardiovascular endurance and strength, helping to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
  • Soccer can be a great family activity, whether you’re coaching your child’s team, supporting from the sideline or helping your child practice, spend quality time together and enjoy the sport as a family.
  • Soccer is very simple to start playing and anyone can participate right away. Whether it’s a recreational or competitive league, there are opportunities available to all ages and skill levels.
  • The 1999 Women’s World Cup Final between The United States and China was the most watched soccer game in the U.S. ever. The United States defeated China on penalty kicks after a scoreless tie, culminating with Brandi Chastain’s iconic celebration.
  • Abby Wambach has attracted attention on the soccer field since early childhood. Growing up in Rochester, NY, she played in her first youth league at age four but only lasted three games with her team. After scoring 27 goals in three games she was transferred to the boys’ team! The youngest of seven children, Abby felt right at home with the boys’ team, since she spent her childhood roughhousing with her four older brothers.
  • The Boxx sisters have won four gold medals between them. Older sister Gillian won a gold medal at the 1996 Olympics in softball before Shannon went on to win three gold medals as part of the U.S. Women’s National soccer team at the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Olympics.

Weekly Address: Congress Should Join the President to Help Responsible Homeowners

President Obama urges Congress to act to build on the momentum we are seeing in the housing market by helping responsible homeowners refinance, saving $3000 a year. Construction workers are building new homes at the fastest pace in more than four years, home values are rising, and foreclosure filings are at the lowest point since the housing bubble burst five years ago.

The steps that the President has already taken have given hundreds of thousands of Americans with high-interest loans the chance to take advantage of the low rates, and the President is calling on Congress to act to help millions more.

Watch President Obama's weekly address.

The U.S. Olympic Swimming Team won 31 medals – 16 gold, nine silver and six bronze – at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, accounting for nearly one-third of Team USA’s total medal count.

Swimming is a lifelong sport that works your entire body. From the freestyle to the “fly,” each stroke offers a different and challenging way to get from one side of the pool (or pond!) to the other.

U.S. Gold Medalist Katie Ledecky tells us why swimming is fun:

Last May, USA Swimming and teamed up with Let’s Move! and the Partnership for a Healthier America to provide low-cost beginner programming to more than 600,000 children in 2012. Visit the Partnership for a Healthier America’s Olympics Page to learn more and find a pool (or pond) near you.

Before you take a dip, check out these beginner tips from USA Swimming:

Ten Tips for Beginner Swimmers

  1. Swimming is a full-body workout that improves your cardiovascular fitness, strength, endurance and flexibility.
  2. Like many team sports, swimming doesn’t just encourage kids to be active, but also teaches them valuable skills like self-discipline, teamwork, leadership, and cooperation.
  3. Swimming can be a life-long sport and passion. Swimmers like the late Olympian Aileen Riggin Soule have been known to churn out laps well into their 90s. No matter your age or ability level, you can visit SwimToday to get started in a pool or training facility in your community.
  4. Make swimming a family activity. As a parent or caregiver, you can join your kids in the water, or cheer them on from the sidelines. Supervision, coaching, and encouragement are especially important for beginner swimmers. Check out these tips for parents to help your child succeed at any level.
  5. Working hard as a team builds lifelong friendships. Many swimmers say they stay in contact with all their swimming buddies long after their swimming careers are over.
  6. The top female medalist (for all sports) at the London Olympics was U.S. swimmer Missy Franklin, who took home four gold medals and one bronze!
  7. You don’t need a pool to swim! Practice your strokes at the beach, or in a lake or river near you. Use the Discover the Forest tool to search for outdoor water activities near you. Before you go, be sure to brush up on water safety with tips like these from Safe Kids USA.
  8. In swimming, like most sports, practice and consistency lead to success. If you work hard and stick with it, you will improve and meet your goals.
  9. After nearly drowning at the age of five, Cullen Jones overcame his fear of water to win a gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Cullen became the first African-American male to hold a world record in swimming. For the last three years, Cullen has been a champion for the USA Swimming Foundation’s Make a Splash initiative to prevent to promote water safety for children. To learn more about water safety and how to enroll your child in swimming lessons, visit www.makeasplash.org.
  10. Many swimmers say they get better grades in-season compared to when they’re not swimming. Why? They learn time management and their studying becomes more effective and efficient.

Getting Moving to Cleanup a Watershed
10/15/2012 02:57 PM EDT

Posted by:
David J. Hayes, Deputy Secretary of the Interior

Two Saturdays ago, I had the privilege of joining the Connecticut River Watershed Council in Hartford for their annual Source to Sea Cleanup event. This year’s cleanup was one of over 2,100 similar events taking place across the country in honor of National Public Lands Day, a day devoted to restoring and conserving our treasured public lands. Throughout the four New England states that make up the watershed, over 2,000 volunteers of all ages got to work picking up garbage, hauling debris, and enjoying a beautiful fall Saturday on the river. With volunteers of all ages and abilities pitching in to do their part, the results were pretty impressive—scores of tires, a parking meter, even full cars (pulled from the river with help from a local salvage company) were among the tons of trash removed.

Young people in Hartford, Connecticut team up to remove debris from the Connecticut River, America's first National Blueway (Photo credit: Connecticut River Watershed Council).

What used to be known as “America’s best-landscaped sewer system”, is transforming into a river full of wildlife and recreation. The cleanup builds on over six decades of work by the Connecticut River Watershed Council that has made the watershed a model in restoration and community-driven conservation. Areas that are the best places for fishing or the easiest to access are often the areas with the most trash. By cleaning and restoring the river, its banks become safer places for people of all ages. The Council has created new outdoor recreation opportunities for youth to get outside and explore the watershed, efforts that align closely with the First Lady’s Let’s Move Outside! initiative. From leading paddling, fishing, and camping trips, to constructing new trails as public lands open to visitors, the Council and its many partners have worked hard to create an environment that can be enjoyed by many.

All of these efforts point to a better future ahead for the Connecticut River watershed. But getting there takes an all-hands effort. That’s why earlier this year, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar created the National Blueways System, a nationwide effort to recognize excellence in conserving our nation’s great watersheds. In support of the Connecticut River and Watershed National Blueway, the first in the nation, the Department of the Interior, the Department of the Army, and the Department of Agriculture are committing to a major multi-agency effort to protect the watershed’s health and expand recreational opportunities. Through the cleanup, we celebrated that new commitment and met with our partners on the ground to learn about how we can work together to deliver a better future for the Connecticut River watershed.

Stories like this are happening all across the country, and as communities work to restore our nation’s great rivers and watersheds, the Obama Administration is committed to doing our part.

Check out volunteer.gov for volunteer opportunities in your own community. Visit recreation.gov for fun activities outdoors.

The website also includes great ideas for how to help kids learn more about forests and the fall colors. You can try doing leaf rubbings, taking photos of the seasonal changes, or looking for animal tracks in the forest. First Lady Michelle Obama encourages families and kids to get active in the outdoors through Let’s Move Outside, part of her initiative to raise a healthier generation of kids.
