Join me in supporting Girls Play Sports, a local organization that I have been working with for the past 5 years!
Girls Play Sports ("GPS") is a non-profit (501c3) organization dedicated to building leadership skills and confidence in girls through their participation in a wide variety of sports. GPS was created to expose girls to positive, strong role models, and to let them have fun playing sports without a scoreboard or coach or long-term season commitment. The GPS programs emphasize pride in being a female athlete.
When I was asked to join the Girls Play Sports Board of Directors a year ago, I didn't hesitate to say yes. I was already very familiar with GPS from volunteering as a coach. As you know, sports helped shape who I am today. As a child, I loved all sports at school. I loved the competition, the physical challenge, and the camaraderie. As I grew older I played softball and tennis, and eventually landed on tennis exclusively. Sports taught me discipline, time management, perseverance and to take risks. Sports gifted me friendships, confidence, strength, and an outlet for my frustrations. Sports took me through college - by offering a family on campus who became life long friends. And now it brings me great joy in mentoring ETHS student athletes in tennis and in college eligibility and recruiting. I know first hand how girls can benefit from being exposed to and playing multiple sports, and almost more importantly how they can benefit from being a part of something.
Help us ensure that the Girls Play Sports programs can continue to run in our community. Our girls need a place to get exposure to a variety of sports they may have never heard of or seen. Exposure to multiple sports will decrease early burnout and overuse injuries due to sport specialization at young ages, it helps improve the overall athleticism of young athletes, and it allows kids to connect with a more diverse group of athletes.
Girls Play Sports is an organization that means a great deal to me. Help us ensure that the Girls Play Sports programs can continue to help our girls become better athletes, better people, and future leaders of our community and beyond.
Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for Girls Play Sports.
