PowerPlay NYC PowerPlay advances the lives of girls in NYC, helping them grow physically, emotionally and academically stronger. http://www.powerplaynyc.org/

PowerPlay came into being when the organization’s founder convened a group of women who felt strongly that the health benefits and life lessons for success to be learned from sports needed to be shared with girls in NYC; especially girls from underserved communities who need it most. Despite the advances in girls’ sport participation since the passage of Title IX, girls are still faced with an uneven playing field, especially in NYC where girls participate in sports at half the rate that boys do. PowerPlay began offering its first STARS (Sports Training and Role models for Success) programming in 2001. Today, PowerPlay is a leading provider of girls’ sports and life skills programming. PowerPlay NYC is distinguished by being the only girl-focused organization in NYC which:
• offers girls the opportunity to learn a variety of sports,
• is open to all girls regardless of ability level, and
• has a health, wellness and life skills curriculum which accompanies all sports learning. Our programs reflect the fundamental principles of PowerPlay:
• Girls who participate in sports are more likely to feel better about their bodies and have higher levels of self-esteem than girls who do not play sports.
• Many of the fundamental life skills for success can be learned through sports participation and related life skills learning activities.
• It is critically important to continually provide opportunities for girls to engage in sports and fitness activity throughout their developmental years
