SAN DIEGO (NEWS 8) - United Healthcare teamed up with the San Diego Sockers to encouraged kids to stay active. 

On Monday, United Healthcare donated 150 NERF energy game kits to kids at the Jackie Robinson Family YMCA in Mountain View. 

The game tracks physical activity with a wristband and encourages children to stay active throughout the day by rewarding them with "energy points."
