Everyone with a mobile phone, from anywhere in the world!

Registration begins February 10th. Exercise can be logged from March 10th 12am ET ending 12am ET Earth Day, April 22nd.

Do you know someone at one of the schools? Do you like their team colors or mascot? Do you play the same sport as the team captain? Is it in a place you’ve always wanted to visit? Pick your team however you like - it’s up to you!

You should recruit as many people as you can. Whether you’re a team captain or someone new to this competition, ask your Uncle, your barista, your neighbor- anyone you want! The more people exercising for your team, the better.

Your environmental currency created by your exercise will fund Coral Gardeners, an organization dedicated to the restoration and conservation of coral reefs. By cultivating and transplanting corals to damaged reefs, Coral Gardeners help restore marine biodiversity and ecosystem health.

Yes! The team that logs the most exercise will win a custom Championship banner to hang at their school. EcoAthletes will also fund an additional climate project in the name of the winning team and in the name of the top exerciser.

No. The Climategames app is strictly a mobile app.

From our stages to our stadiums, the ocean connects us all—but it needs our help. Protect Where We Play is an Ocean Conservancy initiative to turn our passion for sports, art and music into action for our ocean, so we can keep on playing for generations to come.

EcoAthletes is an initiative partner. We've made Protect Where We Play the title sponsor of the 2025 EcoAthletes Collegiate Cup and connected Protect Where We Play with exemplary EcoAthletes Champions like WNBA All-Star Napheesa Collier and Cincinnati Reds pitcher Brent Suter. 

Fans, athletes, entertainers and organizations alike can join Team Ocean and use #ProtectWhereWePlay on social media. Together, we can protect the places we love — on the field, on the stage and beyond.
