Wednesday is National Girls & Women in Sports Day, so why not salute Girls Athletic Leadership School Los Angeles, the one public, all-girls center college in California.
The college is increasing its no-cost soccer program after receiving a $26,000 grant for being selected one of 26 Community Champions as a part of the World Cup coming to Los Angeles.
“So many girls are excluded from organized sports due to cost, transportation, and small necessities,” mentioned GALS LA government director Vanessa Garza in a information assertion. “We believe every girl deserves the opportunity to build teamwork, leadership, and belonging through sports.”
Interested women in grades six to eight can sign up for the GALS LA RISE soccer program here. GALS LA RISE competes in two leagues — FIYA and Lab Five Pacoima.
Here’s a video how the program works.
