Keep Her in the Game, presented by Dove, tackles the high rates at which girls drop out of sports by age 14. The program is designed to empower the trusted adults in girls’* lives – their coaches and parents – with research-backed training to help girls develop leadership skills, find their voices and stay committed to the sport. Keep Her in the Game additionally delivers moments of joy and connection for the girls themselves through unique access to Gotham FC players and experiences at Sports Illustrated Stadium.

*“Girl” includes anyone who identifies as a girl, as well as non-binary and gender expansive youth.

GOTHAM FC AND DOVE TEAM UP TO BUILD GIRLS’ CONFIDENCE IN SPORT

Keep Her in the Game is proudly presented by Dove. Through our partnership, we're able to unlock powerful complementary resources from Dove’s Body Confident Sport programming for our community. 48% of girls who drop out of sports are told they have the wrong body type. Dove is on a mission to make sports a place where all girls can thrive and feel like they belong through the Body Confident Sport program.
