To Keep Girls Playing, Great Coaching is Key - Women's Sports Foundation

New York, NY (April 4, 2019) – Making sports fun is something great coaches do – and it could be the key to keeping girls active. New research from girls ages 7-13 who play sports reveals that when girls like their coaches, they are more likely to keep playing as they get older, to see the importance of being active, and to love their sport. These findings, among others, were released today via the Women’s Sports Foundation (WSF) report, Coaching Through a Gender Lens: Maximizing Girls’ Play and Potential.
