GameChanger helping communities foster development-focused environments for youth athletes with Stay and Play Program 🤝
Earlier this year, we launched our inaugural “Stay and Play Champions” program to help youth in their communities gain access to sports—and stick with them. We selected five Champions from across the country, each supported by incredible partner organizations that, alongside GameChanger, are working to bring equity and play persistence to their communities. These partners are leaders in their fields, which is why we're excited to share practical tools and insights for coaches and parents created by these incredible organizations: Athletes for Hope, Special Olympics Pennsylvania, and Women's Sports Foundation. 👟 Athletes for Hope’s "Adaptive Ally Toolkit" offers resources to help coaches and parents foster inclusion and support for athletes with disabilities. 🏅 Special Olympics Pennsylvania’s "Principles of Meaningful Involvement" provides strategies for building respectful and inclusive teams that value every athlete’s contribution. 🤾♀️ Women's Sports Foundation’s "Tips to Get a Girl Active" shares actionable ideas to inspire girls to participate in sports and stay physically active. These resources live on our new site and are designed to help communities foster development-focused environments for youth athletes. The hub will continue to grow with new content in the months ahead. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gsBYi7jt #ItsOnGameChanger #StayAndPlay #YouthSports
