Youth sports provide a range of benefits to athletes, their families, and their communities, including improved academic outcomes; however, girls continue to be underrepresented in athletic programs. Girls are more likely than boys to have never played sports and are less likely to be currently playing a sport – this disparity is even starker for Black girls and those in low-income communities.  

Join The Hunt Institute on March 23rd for a conversation around why girls struggle to access and persist in sports, how schools can break down these barriers, and how participation in school athletics programs can support overall student success.
