THE PROBLEM

By the time girls reach 8th grade, they are 50% more likely to drop out of sports than boys, creating barriers both physically and socially that can last a lifetime.

the Opportunity

It’s time to change the game — and we believe it starts by listening to girls.

8th-Grade Girls team up to complete an online application that shares their ideas about getting more girls playing sports.

Participating WNBA and NBA teams select one team of girls who become their Game Growers.

Game Growers visit Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon and work with Nike and their WNBA and NBA team to create a Game Plan for their idea.

Selected Game Growers Game Plans will be shared during the Game Growers Showcase at the 2020 WNBA Draft.
