Season 3

NOT ENOUGH GIRLS ARE PLAYING SPORTS. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE.

What's Your Idea?

NIKE, THE WNBA, AND THE NBA WILL HELP YOU BRING POSITIVE CHANGE TO GIRLS IN YOUR COMMUNITY.

Are you a 7th or 8th Grade girl, aged 13+? Do you want to help girls around you stay in the sports you love? Do you have a passion for empowering girls?

Nike Game Growers is an exclusive chance for you to be that hero and to help your community. Each of our 40 participating WNBA or NBA teams select two girls to serve as Game Growers Co-Captains and develop their idea to increase sports participation for girls.

THE PROBLEM

By the time girls reach 8th Grade, they are 50% more likely to drop out of sports than boys. This creates physical and social barriers that can last a lifetime.

HOW IT WORKS

Girls team up in pairs to share their idea to grow sports for girls via the online Co-Captain application.

Participating WNBA and NBA teams select their Game Growers Co-Captains

Game Growers Co-Captains work with their WNBA and NBA teammates to complete missions and develop their Game Plans.

With the help of their WNBA and NBA team, Game Grower Co-Captains share their final Game Plans with the world.

HOW GIRLS CAN GET INVOLVED

Nike Game Growers elevates and enables the ideas of 7th and 8th grade girls, building from the momentum of bright ideas shared last season, to help grow girls' participation in sports.

Are you a 7th or 8th grade girl, age 13+, and passionate about getting more girls in sports? Here is your chance to truly make a difference and get super creative about bringing your vision to life! Choose a friend who is also 13+, in 7th or 8th grade, and who shares your passion for changing the game. Together you could be selected to collaborate with a WNBA or NBA team from your area. You’ll complete exciting missions with them to strengthen and refine your visionary Game Grower Idea into a powerful Game Plan. Plus, you’ll have access to a ton of great resources and workshops from the Game Growers community to help you become a powerful leader and inspirational influencer!
