What We Do

We help create after-school sports opportunities for girls and boys that build their confidence and skills, connect them to mentors and improve their prospects in school and in life.

We work with partners and experts in the youth sports, health, education and policy fields to create real access, quality and equality in the after-school sports arena.

• We partner with after-school sports programs, offering a range of supports—training, consulting, and Coaching Corps volunteer coaches—that help more young people learn the important life lessons sports offer.
  
  
• We dedicate special initiatives to building community through sports and supporting equal opportunities for girls to participate in and benefit from sports.
  
  
• We educate policymakers about the benefits of sports for young people and the need for more sports opportunities in low-income neighborhoods.

Everybody wins.

So far, we have:

• Created over 15,000 new sports opportunities for kids
• Trained over 1,600 program leaders from 200 programs to improve program quality for more than 70,000 kids
• Placed over 850 Coaching Corps volunteer coaches in programs
• Awarded over $5 million in funding to expand and improve programs
