We make a great team
Our Story
Based in Charleston, SC, our organization is driven by a powerful mission: to empower young girls to step into leadership roles and succeed in all facets of life, with sports serving as the catalyst.
Our focus is on supporting all girls, helping them to navigate and overcome barriers related to logistics, availability of sports options, and financial constraints. We offer programs for free to girls in rural areas and those attending Title I schools.
We are a team of passionate and capable individuals, each bringing a wealth of expertise and a deep commitment to fostering an environment where every girl can thrive and lead.
Through sports, we aim to build resilience, confidence, and camaraderie among young women, setting them on a path to success.
