Let Her Play is playing the long game to close the gender gap through the power of sport
Sport participation can dramatically impact a young girl’s ability to reach her full potential and compete in life.
However, girls’ sport participation rates both lag and have higher drop-out rates than boys’.
Let Her Play has been working since 2022 to stave off girls’ attrition from sports in adolescence, improve the overall pipeline of participants, and build a network of girls and women to support each other along the ladder of life.
74% of executive women say a background in sport can help accelerate a woman’s career.
