Grantee 🔦: San Francisco SeaLions Underwater Hockey:

Underwater Hockey is a fast sport played on the bottom of a pool by teams of 6 players with masks, snorkels, fins and short sticks. Players move the puck by pushing it or passing it, trying to get the puck into the opposing
team’s goal.

Underwater Hockey is a limited contact, co-ed sport in which men and women can compete on equal terms. It’s about teamwork and skill, more than raw strength.
And, no matter what your skill level, Underwater Hockey is a great way to have lots of fun, get fit, andmake new friends.

Thank you to Tara Slone from San Jose Sharks for the
great video!

What is the real cost of getting girls into sports?

Youth sports asks families to absorb far more than registration fees. For too many, that means the price of participation keeps girls from ever getting started.
