Sports

"Girls playing sports is not about winning gold medals. It’s about self-esteem, learning to compete and learning how hard you have to work in order to achieve your goals."

— Jackie Joyner-Kersee, member of the International Women’s Sports Hall of Fame and three-time Olympic gold medalist in track and field

The organized sports leagues at Girls Inc. provide  sports programs which give young female athletes an opportunity for healthy competition in an atmosphere that emphasizes good sportsmanship, skill development, and which teaches important life skills such as discipline, respect, perseverance, patience and commitment.

We are dedicated to providing an environment where each athlete can feel free to grow as a player. The skills taught and the commitment required will enable the individual player to reach personal goals to help her team reach its potential. The strength of each program lies in the combination of the quality coaches and volunteer staff, hard working and talented athletes; as well as the enthusiasm and support from parents.

Please contact Lucy at lberger@monroe.girls-inc.org or 812-336-7313 if you have questions about our sports leagues or to find out how you can help.
