Sports participation provides an opportunity for girls to build self-esteem, courage, self-identity, and resiliency. This translates into everyday life.
Sports contributes to the development of attitudes and values that promote respect to others and self, tolerance of individual differences, and adopting health-promoting habits to enhance the quality of their lives.
Sports is a powerful tool and platform that strengthen social ties, networks, engaging the community and promote positive messages.
HER Sports is grounded by its core values on HUSTLE. They shape the culture and define the character of our program. They guide how we behave and how we make decisions. In carrying out our mission, HER Sports embraces the following values:
Thank you for giving kids an opportunity to get better and putting your time into helping us, I really appreciate it.
A coach that believes in you, keeps you motivated, helps put aside any conflicts, accomplish goals, and provides a mentor/friend for life.
The confidence and self-esteem gained from team sports is almost untouchable, having coaches and teammates supporting you is the biggest key to success.
Sports are my happy place even if I’m not the best. Play sports can relieve anger by being around your friends who comfort you. Having trust coaches is always nice, knowing you have that someone to go to.
Everyone has different misfortunes that occur in their lives, and sports have been a great way to temporarily escape from them. I know personally that having a close relationship to my team, has helped me with either support or just brighten my spirits.
I feel that having a coach believe in you is very important. Knowing you have someone on your side that wants to see you succeed and do better, gives you a boost of confidence and pushes you to do better.
When I first started playing basketball at 6 yrs old, it was tough being one of the only two girls playing. I would get called names, but the passion and support group I had around me never let me down. It’s not easy but stay focused and have fun while playing.
