Our Programs

NAGWS has served girls and women in sport for more than a century!  During that time, a variety of programs have been initiated to prepare teachers and coaches to work with female students and to challenge individuals and institutions to look at how they do business each day.

Title IX/gender equity issues have been a long-time focus of NAGWS programs through programs like Backyards and Beyond or National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD). 

NAGWS advocates, educates, researches, honors, publishes and much, much more.  If you are interested in the issues and challenges facing girls and women in sport today or in the future, you can find a good professional home in NAGWS.
