Girls with Grit Sport Summit
The Girls with Grit Program is designed to do exactly that: create a supportive, high-energy environment where young females can discover new sports, build confidence, and feel proud of what their bodies can do.
Because sport isn’t just about skill, it’s about believing you belong.

About the Program
The Girls with Grit Sport Summit is a two-day experience built to empower girls through sport, connection, and self-belief. We created this program to address a real challenge—by age 14, girls drop out of sport at twice the rate of boys.
Our goal? Change that story.
Through fun, supportive, and engaging sessions, participants are encouraged to try new activities, step outside their comfort zone, and discover what they love.
What to Expect
This isn’t your typical sports event, it’s an experience.
Participants take part in a mix of high-energy activities, interactive sessions, and meaningful conversations designed to build both physical skills and confidence.
Here’s what’s included:
- Multiple sport sessions across two days
- Group activities that build teamwork and connection
- Confidence-building workshops and discussions
- A fun, welcoming environment where every girl feels supported
And yes—there’s plenty of fun along the way.
A Space to Feel Strong, Seen, and Supported
Girls with Grit is about more than learning a new sport, it’s about how participants feel when they leave.
Over the course of the program, girls:
- Build confidence in themselves and their abilities
- Try sports they may have never considered before
- Make new friends and connections
- Learn how to navigate challenges both on and off the field
The goal is simple: help every participant walk away feeling like a rockstar.
