Welcome to the Keep Her in the Game Clubhouse

Over the past three years, the Keep Her in the Game (KHITG) program presented by Dove has trained more than 350 youth soccer coaches to create positive team environments where girls build confidence, feel connected, and want to keep playing. Together with our partner Girls Leadership, we've developed evidence-backed tools and resources to support coaches and parents in this work.

We’ve learned a lot along the way. And we’ve heard from coaches and parents who can't formally participate in the program, but are eager for tools to better support their girls. That's why we created the Keep Her in the Game Clubhouse.

This free resource center is open to any coaches or parents supporting girls and gender expansive youth ages 11–14 and beyond. Explore short videos, practice activities, and coaching tips. We'll be adding new resources regularly, so check back often!

Team Building

Team Building activities help middle school girls develop a stronger sense of identity, awareness, and belonging within their teams. Through intentional opportunities for connection, collaboration, and camaraderie, coaches can create a positive team culture where girls feel supported, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and develop a shared commitment to their team's success.
