Letter to the Parents of the Treasure Valley

My name is Stephen Chan, President of the American Boffer Association, and I’m so excited to share Boffer sports with the youth of the Treasure Valley. As a lifelong athlete, I’ve been working in the health and wellness field as a personal fitness trainer since 2012 and have had the pleasure of helping individuals improve their physical fitness and overall health. One of the experiences that I will always remember was working with children in a family chiropractic office. I was told these children all had non-congenital scoliosis, and I watched as the physical activity strengthened these kids and improved their posture, energy and attitudes. When I understood the effect of a sedentary lifestyle on these kids, I knew this was a problem that needed to be tackled.

My goal with the American Boffer Association is to bring a new physical activity that allows for safe contact without compromising the fun. I grew up playing countless hours of videogames, and getting into Boffer sports helped to pull me away from all the screen time. I hope that I can do the same for kids and reduce the amount of screen time in exchange for some great physical exercise and social development.

As a personal trainer, I’ve had the fortune to run a few kids camps which were centered around Boffer sports and the most common question I was asked was “When is the next class?”.

Well, Parents of the Treasure Valley, March 2nd, 2023.
