Mission

Equipping High School Girls to Become Productive Women Through Sport-Based Activities.

Why Girls?

Girls are dropping out of sports! There’s a gap in opportunities for girls to access sports at all levels. Lack of direction and guidance means that girls are losing opportunities to play, gain confidence, stay active, stay focused, and effectively prepare for their future.
