About
Our STARS (Sports Training and Role Models for Success) programs reflect the fundamental principles of PowerPlay:
Girls who participate in sports are more likely to feel better about their bodies and have higher levels of self-esteem than girls who do not play sports. PowerPlay programming focuses on teaching girls fundamental skills in a variety of sports so they become confident in their athletic abilities and enjoy playing. The PowerPlay program setting also provides a safe space for expression and discussion, creating an optimal environment for health, wellness, and life skills learning activities.
