International Sports Opportunities Committee

WOCPSCN Pillar Three: Education honor girls and women through sports education. We believe that all level of sports participation can produce confidence, and leadership-skills. Our signature program, Urban Gurl/Suburban Swurl Gurl Golf Clinic establishes golf as a tool to increase these qualities in underrepresented communities in the Inglewood area of California.

Our vision is to globally have multiple levels of participation for 100 young women during the LA 28 Summer Olympics. We invite your support by becoming an International Sports Opportunity Committee member.

Girls and sport

Sport is a great enabler to teach girls the skills they need to advance in life. Girls who play sports develop self-esteem, confidence, resilience, and learn to work in teams. They tend to stay in school longer, delay pregnancy, and get better jobs.

Eighty per cent of female Fortune 500 CEOs played sports in their formative years, emphasizing the profound impact of early exposure to sports on women’s development and ability to reach their full potential.

Ninety-two per cent of global audiences surveyed by Parity Now agree it’s important for girls to play sports growing up, with 61 per cent deeming it “very important”.

Despite the evidence of clear benefits, by the age of 14 girls drop out of sports at twice the rate of boys due to several factors, such as social expectations, lack of investment in quality programs, and more.
