Coaching, kit and tournament travel for girls from twelve schools — most playing organised football for the first time.
The Challenge
Girls’ participation in sport dropped sharply after middle school, with no regular coaching nearby.
What Was Done
Weekly coaching at four centres, full kit, and travel to district and state tournaments for a full season.
“Parents who were unsure at the start were cheering from the sideline by the end of the season.”
The Result
Two hundred girls completed the season and three teams reached the state tournament.
