Through our partnership with the Houston Texans we are building a community of healthy children. Texas Children’s Hospital provides a full range of care for your child and is the only sports medicine program in Texas focused solely on the unique needs of pediatric athletes.
The Sports Medicine program at Texas Children’s Hospital offers an interdisciplinary approach for diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of young athletes with acute and chronic sports injuries. Our board-certified sports medicine doctors work collaboratively with orthopedic surgeons, a pediatric and musculoskeletal fellowship-trained radiologist, sports-focused physical therapists and dietitians, as well as with other Texas Children's Hospital sub-specialists when needed.
Our comprehensive program offers services including physical therapy, musculoskeletal radiology, nutrition, orthopedic surgery and young women's services in a state-of-the-art, patient-centered environment.
Houston Texans Junior Cheerleaders
Cheer on the team and jump with the stars! This event, sponsored by Texas Children’s, is a dream come true for cheerleaders between the ages of 7 and 11. They’ll have the opportunity to practice with Texans cheerleaders – and join them on the field during a home game.
Registration fee includes:
- Texans cheerleader uniform and pompoms
- Autographed poster of cheerleaders
- DVD of performance
Girls, especially athletes, have special health needs as they develop into young women. Texas Children’s Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology is one of the nation’s leading programs dedicated to these unique concerns.
Houston Texans Running of the Bulls
Each fall, Texas Children’s sponsors TORO’s Kids 1k run/walk for children 12 years and younger. It’s during the Houston Texans Running of the Bulls 5K run/walk presented by H-E-B at NRG Stadium, so share the fun and make it a family affair!
Every child is a winner, and regardless of ability each child will cross the finish line and receive an official Running of the Bulls medal. Interactive water stops help kids stay hydrated during the event.
The fun includes appearances by TORO, the Texans cheerleaders and the Deep Steel Thunder, and kids can play in TORO’s Kids Club Kids Zone. Race participants – young and not so young -- enjoy free food and drinks, prizes and live music.
Get Fit with TORO
Look for TORO as he visits Houston-area elementary schools to teach about the importance of being active and eating a healthy diet. Sponsored by Texas Children’s, these all-school assemblies show how fun and zany exercise and good nutrition can be. Kids get a special treat when players and cheerleaders join the event through a video call.
