Leagues

According to studies, girls who play sports are more confident, have higher levels of self esteem stronger self images and lower levels of depression than girls who do not participate.

Participants in sports are less likely to be involved in unwanted pregnancies, less likely to be involved with drugs and more likely to graduate from high school.

Sports are where participants have traditionally learned about teamwork, goal setting and the pursuit of excellence in performance, critical skills necessary for success in the workplace later in life.
