The Jolly Blast adventure series features an animated version of
Gonzalez, five-time NFL All-Pro tight end for the Kansas City
Chiefs and Atlanta Falcons,who as “Coach Tony” will encourage
children to get active and spark a lifelong love for games and
movement.
“Jolly Blast’s mission is to teach kids and parents that
participating in sports is a fun way to build self-esteem, get
some exercise as well as learn teamwork and sportsmanship,” said
Gonzalez, who is the second leading receiver in NFL history.
“Whether it’s an organized sport, a school playground activity
or a made-up backyard game, kids who are physically active
develop solid health and fitness practices that enrich them for
a lifetime.”
In Jolly Blast: Soccer, the story follows Jolly and Holly who,
along with their robot friend, Tom, are on a mission to save
their home world, “Planet Blah,” from endless boredom by finding
new Earth activities to play, such as soccer. With Jolly Blast’s
first sports adventure app, children will get up and move while
learning basic soccer rules, stretches, moves, drills and
terminology. Kids will also gain life lessons in an easy,
entertaining environment.
“We created Jolly Blast: Soccer to introduce kids and their
families to one of the coolest sports on Planet Earth in a whole
new way – through a unique blend of story, character and
information,”said Jeffrey Eagle, Chairman and CEO of Jolly Blast
Productions, an integrated media and entertainment company that
advocates movement, youth sports and healthy activities for
young children. “Hopefully, kids who use this app will have an
immediate and better grasp of the game of soccer, but more
importantly, they also realize that learning to play something
new can positively impact their health, their life, even their
planet.”
Children bring the story to life on the iPad by utilizing the
interactive touch screen to trigger eye-catching graphics and
giggle-inducing sounds. Kids become friends with the Jolly Blast
crew and follow them on a soccer journey, with more sports
adventures to come.
