About HER SPORTS

HER SPORTS is a dynamic 501(c)(3) nonprofit rooted in Central Virginia, committed to empowering girls through sports, mentorship, leadership development, and holistic wellness. Over the past five years, HER SPORTS has created inclusive and transformative spaces where girls grow strong—on and off the field—through youth leagues, clinics, workshops, and award celebrations. Our programs are built on the H.U.S.T.L.E. values: Health is Wealth, Unity is Community, Strive for Excellence, Trust the Process, Lead the Next, and Earn Respect.

With hundreds of girls served across Central VA, HER SPORTS is more than a program—it’s a movement for equity, empowerment, and sisterhood.
