SHE CHANGES THE GAME

The ‘She Changes The Game’ initiative grows opportunities for women to coach and ensure young girls in vulnerable communities have great female role models in their lives. Specifically, funds go to support:

Increasing the number of women coaches

Up2Us Sports is committed to ensuring at least 50% of its annual coachforce is made up of female coaches. Funds will be leveraged to support the recruitment of female coaches into the Up2Us Sports coaching program.

Retaining Young Girls in Sports

Through a collaboration with adidas, Up2Us Sports created a free digital curriculum, Keep Girls in Sport, to help coaches overcome stereotypes and knock down barriers that stand in the way of girls’ participation in sports. Additionally, funds will support the training of female coaches in youth development and trauma-sensitive coaching techniques.

Building capacity of girls’ sports programs

Up2Us Sports partners with local community organizations through the placement of sport coaches with the aim to offer more sports programming opportunities. Our coach program provides 8 to 12 months worth of sports programming. Together, we will enhance the number of opportunities available to young girls living in underserved communities.
