Our Girls with Grit Sport Summit is a dynamic two day event for females age 8-13. The event is centered around the opportunity to females to try new sports in a safe and welcoming space to help reduce the trend of females dropping out of sport twice as fast as males by age 14. The weekend features active sessions, as well as sessions that focus on mental health, positive body image and positive social interactions. Participants receive a welcome gift, lunch and t-shirt as memento of the day.

Girls with Grit has become more than just an event - it has become a community. A community filled with healthy strong females that support each other on and off the court. 

We hope you can join us!

 Girls with Grit Mini Summits

The most consistent feedback we received after hosting the first Girls with Grit Sport Summit was that our young females want MORE! So in came: Mini Summits!!

Mini Summits follow the same principles as our larger summit - just on a smaller scale! 1 day, less people - just as much fun!
