LAUSD Visits RAMs Woodland Hills Facility

On Monday, October 13, 2025, the Los Angeles Rams hosted a major youth-engagement event at their Woodland Hills practice facility, marking their largest ever local edition of the PLAY 60 Field Day initiative with the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). The event brought together more than 800 students from 10 separate LAUSD schools, gathering at the Rams’ facility located in Woodland Hills, California.

According to the official Rams community website, the PLAY 60 Field Days, “presented by Bloom Ranch,” are structured programs designed for elementary-aged students. They open with an assembly focused on character and fundamentals, followed by “carnival-style football activity stations” to help kids move their bodies and engage in physical activity for at least 60 minutes.

This particular event was notable on several fronts:

It was the first time a PLAY 60 Field Day has been held at the Rams’ Woodland Hills practice facility.

It was the largest such event the team has hosted in Woodland Hills.

The presence of more than 800 students from 10 schools highlights the scale of the initiative within LAUSD.

During the morning, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. PT, students moved through various stations: football drills and physical-activity games led by youth-engagement coaches from the Rams; interactions with the team’s cheerleaders and mascot Rampage; along with a facility tour giving children a behind-the-scenes look at a professional sports club’s practice grounds. According to the announcement, each student received a Rams-branded PLAY 60 t-shirt.

The goal of the event: to motivate youth to stay active, learn fundamental movement and football skills, and instill positive habits around health, exercise and character. The PLAY 60 campaign is the NFL’s national youth health and wellness initiative, aimed at encouraging children to be physically active for at least 60 minutes a day.

For LAUSD students, this event offers a combination of fun and structure: a non-competitive setting, designed for younger grades (typically TK–5th as per the program description), where physical activity and character development go hand in hand rather than game results.

Beyond this singular event, the Rams’ community engagement in Woodland Hills and the West Valley has been extensive: since the team’s return to Los Angeles in 2016, they have logged more than 5,000 hours of service in the region, visited over 40 schools, and engaged nearly 13,000 students through PLAY 60 Field Days.

The collaboration with Bloom Ranch, a 250 acre farm — described on the Rams website as Los Angeles County’s largest Black-owned ranch, promoting health, wellness and active living — adds a local-community dimension to the event.

In summary: Monday’s field day was part of a broader, ongoing effort by the Rams to use their platform and resources to support youth wellness and community outreach. By bringing together hundreds of LAUSD students, offering activity stations, interaction with team mascot, Rampage and cheerleaders, branded apparel, and access to their professional facility, the Rams are creating a high-visibility opportunity for kids to move, learn, and get excited about staying active.

The Los Angeles Rams Play 60 program has also participated in several other school districts this year (2025). The districts mentioned in recent activities include:

Superior Street Elementary and Herrick Avenue Elementary in the LAUSD.
Compton Unified School District (CUSD): The Rams hosted football clinics at Clinton Elementary and other schools in the district.
Hermosa Beach City School District (HBCSD): Vista School participated in a Play 60 Field Day.
A school in the Santa Clarita Valley (Cedarcreek Elementary) participated, though the specific district wasn’t explicitly named.

Additionally, the program often partners with the

Inglewood Unified School District (IUSD) for Play 60 events, which has been a frequent participant in past years. The broader national NFL Play 60 grant program, supported by the Rams, also provided a grant to Hobart Boulevard Elementary in Los Angeles.

As previously mentioned, the program aims to encourage kids to be active for 60 minutes a day and is hosted at various elementary schools within the greater Los Angeles area.
