OUR SOLUTION

to address disparities that will overcome obstacles and break down barriers that will forge new pathways for greater engagement in girl sports.

Below are barriers that HER SPORTS look to break:

"75% of girls have heard disparaging statements about girls in sport."

Cost is a key barrier to lack of girls sport participants.

Girls dropout increases due to interest in social life.

Lack of access to facilities nearby is a barrier to girls participation.

The struggle to balance academics and sports, lead to drop outs in sports.

The lack of female role models and coaches in sports are a driving factor for girls not to participate in sports

Sports can build self confidence and healthy living.

Despite the COVID pandemic that heavily impacted our communities in 2020, HER SPORTS remained active in bringing hope, connection, and inspiration to 58 girls through 1 on 1 trainings, summer workouts, webinars, and clinics.

A special shout out to our partners that helped make all this possible.
