Here at Good Sports, we believe that equipping girls for sports equips them for life ??????? This #WomensHistoryMonth, we’re celebrating She Who Plays, our campaign dedicated to ensuring more girls have the opportunity to play sports. Right now, girls are dropping out of sports at twice the rate of boys, often due to lack of access to proper equipment and programming. Good Sports aims to change that...and we need your help. Our goal? Equip 1,000 girls with the gear they need to get in the game. Because when girls play, they gain confidence, leadership skills, and a lifelong love of sport.
