Leadership through sports

Leveling the Fields provides after-school sports for girls, building confidence, leadership, and success on and off the field.

“Only 24% of executives at the C-suite level are women. However, 94% of them had a background in sports, and over half played at the university level.”

Empowering Tomorrow's Leaders Through Sports

At Leveling the Fields, we believe sports are one of the most powerful pathways to leadership. Research consistently shows that girls who play sports grow into more confident leaders, yet millions of girls never have the opportunity to play because of barriers like cost, access, and limited options.

That's why we exist.

Through our after-school sports programs, we remove those barriers by bringing high-quality, multi-sport programming directly to schools. Girls build confidence, resilience, teamwork, and leadership skills while trying sports like soccer, softball, basketball, volleyball, tennis, and lacrosse in a safe, encouraging environment.

Every girl deserves the chance to discover what she's capable of. Together, we're creating more opportunities for girls to play today so they can lead tomorrow.
