Girls are 60% more likely than boys
to quit playing sports by age 14.
Girls Play Sports is here to change that!
GPS is a non profit organization dedicated to fostering leadership skills and confidence in girls through participation in a wide variety of sports. The program engages girls, grades 3-8, in multiple sports without a long-term or expensive commitment. GPS engages girls in meaningful conversations about current topics that affect young women today.
WHEN GIRLS PLAY SPORTS,
WE ALL WIN!
BUILDS RESILIENCE
Sport is about bouncing back and learning from mistakes. The earlier girls can learn these skills, the better!
TEACHES RESPECT
Beyond the fundamentals, playing sports helps to instill respect for authority and rules.
REGULAR EXERCISE
Just 30 minutes a day can impact their overall health.
TIME MANAGEMENT
Through sports, girls learn the importance of time management and discipline.
TEAMWORK
We all know it makes the DREAM work!
LEADERSHIP SKILLS
Leadership isn’t always about who is the best. Quiet leadership is about being accountable for your actions.
QUICK THINKING
Getting girls on their feet helps them to think on their feet! Sports help athletes listen to their instincts and make game time decisions.
DEVELOPS SELF-ESTEEM
Girls may not get high-fives, pats on the back and thumbs up anywhere else. Sports gives every athlete a boost of confidence!
TEACHES PATIENCE
Sports teach girls that learning a skill takes repeated practice.
