For girls wanting to play sports, there is a lack of resources, confidence and a lack of exposure.

Our game plan is to promote and advertise girls in sports on social media. We will also host sports clinics for girls of all ages.

Girls often feel a lack of confidence when playing sports.

We designed a sports-themed social media app called 'Tip-off' for our game plan. It will have fundamentals of many other social platforms, making it an environment that many would be familiar with. The main home screen will consist of video, photo and message posts. There will also be a map feature that directs people to nearby sports facilities to increase their gameplay. Our app will provide a positive environment for users and will connect them through sports.

A lot of girls don’t get excited about sports because of the lack of female representation in sports, which impacts confidence.

Our game plan was to bring seventh and eighth-grade girls to a clinic to teach them basketball drills and sportsmanship games. We would like to get both the seventh and eighth-grade girls involved in a leadership opportunity, and get elementary schoolers excited, inspired, and included in sports. We know that younger kids look up to older kids, so it would be a fun opportunity for some of our trusted middle school girls to step up to a leadership role, teaching fun basketball activities to the younger kids.

Girls don’t feel comfortable playing sports due to lack of skills, confidence in body image, and other factors. We want to help them build confidence.

Our game plan to get more girls in our community to play sports is to host an event where girls get the opportunity to try a lot of different sports to see if they're interested and build their confidence. We want to show girls that they can be themselves.

There is a lack of confidence and negative stigma around starting sports at an older age.

Our game plan has three main focus areas; Ignite Compassionate Play. The game plan consists of a three-session camp run by girls

Girls have a lack of confidence because they either don't believe in themselves or they think other girls are going to judge them.

Our game plan is to hold a 6-week basketball clinic that will feature high school coaches and high school girls. The clinic will include a curriculum on leadership and confidence, and girls will take part in group discussions. An hour of each clinic will be used to work on the fundamentals and skills needed to become a better basketball player.

A lack of confidence for girls, not knowing how special they are and how good they can become.

Our game plan is to create the G-FORCE app, which would give girls a safe community, training, and inspiration to keep playing sports. We started with an Instagram page to test our idea and we plan on continuing it until the app is created.

The problem is lack of confidence and also lack of support.

We plan to visit girls in our community and speak to them about the importance of sport for our game plan. Our presentation will also include data on why girls quit, and the positive impact sports can have on girls like us. Afterwards, we plan on demonstrating and playing a few games, as well as giving them shoes and shirts to show our appreciation for their time.

The problem is a lack of resources, especially for travel and gear.

Our game plan is to host a basketball camp for girls who don't have the resources to play sports. This camp would include whatever equipment the girls would need to play, and would likely be free depending on their needs.

A lack of resources (such as equipment and funding) and the perception that we need the perfect body in order to play sports.

For our game plan we created Girls Got Game 4 Life, G³4L. It is a 10 week summer program that allows girls to choose a sport to play during the school year. During the school year, we will cover registration fees for their sport, provide transportation to practices and games, and provide tutoring for girls who need it.

A lack of confidence and the lack of resources.

Our game plan is to hold a sports seminar in local elementary schools, where local high school and college level athletes will speak to the 5th graders about the benefits of being active through sports. They will also promote our 2-3 day summer camp that will teach the basics of basketball and spark interest to the point that girls will feel confident and excited to try out for their middle school team.

A lack of resources and support.

Our game plan is to create female sports mentorships. We will choose female sports mentors to teach girls the foundation of different sports, and teach us how to build a sisterhood.

A lack of confidence and not having the same opportunities as boys.

Our game plan is to have ten two-day camps in the summer. These camps will focus on the fundamentals of sports, as well as making sure girls are having fun.

A lack of confidence and the fear of judgment.

Our game plan is to hold after school sports sessions where girls can play sports that they are interested in. This will be a judgement-free zone so no girls feel down.

A lack of resources for girls to use, to play the sports they love.

For our game plan we created a website called Sports Around The Block, which has three main parts. Our goal is to provide resources for girls to get involved in sports by providing locations for pick up games. There is a mentor page which allows girls to leave/ask advice, and lastly, a donation page for gently used sportswear and/or equipment.

A lack of confidence coming froma fear of failure, fear of getting judged and fear of being told that girls would not be as good as boys.

Our game plan is to get more girls involved in sports through the website we created. Our website will provide a community for girls that are sharing the same experience with sports.

A lack of confidence and fear of embarrassment.

Our game plan is the Caterpillar Course, a two hour girls-only program. During the program, girls get to know each other, learn the basics of a sport, and play in a fun game at the end. For girls new to sports, it provides the knowledge of a new skill and the opportunity to get better at something.

A lack of confidence, thinking they are not as good as boys.

Our game plan is to create a year round multi-sport camp for girls. We want to introduce sports to girls at an early age to show them the many choices in their future.

Girls not having the ambition, the will, and the sparks to change sport for girls in their community and around the world.

Our game plan is to create a safe space for girls to try their best, fail, and still have the opportunity to play without being judged. Girls will be able to gain more information on different sports. Also, girls will have a support system from other girls, and will feel comfortable doing the sports they dream of doing.

Fear of rejection, fear of judgment and lack of a support system.

Our game plan is to host an event at one of our local parks. We want a variety of different sports teams and clubs to come and talk to girls about their sport. This will introduce girls to new sports and give them the necessary resources to get involved.

A lack of confidence causing girls to drop out of sports.

Our game plan is to host a state-wide event called the Minnesota Girls Sports summit, where 200 girls grade 6-8 learn about confidence, healthy lifestyle, leadership, and community. This event will feature a panel of Lynx players, and will include many fun and inspirational activities like basketball games and speakers.

A lack of confidence, support, and resources. There are also not enough East African female role models for the girls in our community to look up to.

Our Game Plan is to host clinics and camps for the whole community. At the event, we would give out free sports gear and watch basketball games together because the people in our community don't currently have that chance/opportunity.

A lack of confidence, which impacts their willingness to play sports.

Our game plan is to create a children's book to show the benefits of participating in sports. Our target issue is lack of confidence and the will to play. Most girls who continue with sports begin to play at a young age, which is why this is important to us.

A lack of resources provided to girls within our community.

Our game plan is a free annual basketball camp. Our camp will give girls with limited resources access to various aspects of the game. At the conclusion, they’ll get to experience what they weren’t able to.

A lack of mentors/leaders/role models.

Our game plan is to host sports camps for girls our age. This would provide positive successful mentors to look up to, ideas on how to help grow their game, and future leadership skills.

A lack of confidence, lack of resources and lack of positive mindsets towards sports.

Our game plan is to create an app that encourages girls to get involved and stay involved in sports. We are also going to speak to schools in our area and tell students about our app and how they can help with sports in their community.

A lack of confidence and lack of a support system.

Our game plan is a mentorship program involving several universities. Female basketball players from universities would act as sports mentors and mentor girls ages 13-15.

A lack of confidence

Our game plan is to host an event to teach kids about different sports. We will inform them about the benefits of sports and teach them new things. This will help with self-esteem and confidence.

A lack of support and a lack of confidence.

Our game plan is to host free camps in rural areas. This would allow the opportunity to participate in sports and to try something new. The camps would build up players’ self-confidence, making them want to continue their involvement.

A lack of opportunities, confidence, and exposure.

Our Girls for S.P.O.R.T.S. game plan has local college and professional athletes partnering with middle school PE programs one Friday a month during the school year. During their off sports season, athletes will team up with PE teachers offering an inspirational PE environment for girls that focuses on confidence, teamwork, and exposure to all sports.

A lack of resources and access.

Our game plan is Nike x Becuzicare. We aimed to fix three aspects of the game for girls by giving them resources, access, and structure. All of which are necessary for them to start, continue and feel supported in playing, pursuing and growing in the game we love, basketball.

A lack of confidence, education, and the fear of being judged based on looks or skills.

Our game plan is to bring people in the community together through a program called Hands In. This program is dedicated to empowering youth females, specifically 7th-9th grade girls, to stay active and in sports through movement, education, leadership building/mentorship, and community outreach.

A lack of confidence and lack of resources, also a lack of opportunities for girls to try sports.

For our game plan, we want to provide a mentorship program for girls with fewer opportunities, because we know that when you are in the dark, you feel like you’ve been buried. Through this program, we hope the girls will realize that they have not been buried, but planted. We hope to inspire them to grow into beautiful flowers filled with many different colors.

A lack of confidence and fear of being judged while playing or trying a new sport.

Our game plan is a sports camp where girls can go and try different sports over the course of two weeks. The girls would figure out which sport they liked and would want to continue playing. At the end of the two weeks, the camp would help the girls enroll with local sports teams.

A lack of confidence and lack of resources. We want to make sure all girls no matter their resources or confidence can participate and have fun in sports.

Our game plan is known as Game GrowHers. It strives to give girls free, accessible sports training through an app that matches girls with volunteer coaches/athletes. We want to ensure all girls have the resources and confidence to begin/play a sport.

A lack of opportunities and resources within our communities.

For our game plan, we created Ball-Her Vision. It is a community-run website containing team tryouts, workouts, and other sports activities for girls in your area. It is also a girls program with sports stations that teach fundamentals to help girls find their sport.
