We exist to enable girls and women to reach their potential in sports and life .  \nLetter from the CEO  \nFounded by Billie Jean King in 1974, the Women’s Sports Foundation is committed to ensuring that all girls and women have equal access to sports and physical activity and the tremendous life-long benefits they provide. While much progress has been made, there remain glaring disparities in sport participation across gender, race/ethnicity, geography, and socioeconomic status, leaving far too many girls on the sidelines. We know we can and must do better.  \nKeeping Girls in the Game: Factors that Influence Sports Participation, generously supported by Dick’s Sporting Goods, provides new insight on how and why girls enter sports, why some girls  \ndrop out and why others persist. The report is a window into girls’ lives, painting a picture of how they experience sport, including their attitudes, motivations concerns and interests. The study also includes a survey of parents to explore their perceptions around issues related to access, benefits, and impediments to their children’s involvement in sports. As primary influencers and gatekeepers of their children’s participation, these findings can lead to strategies that meet the needs of girls and their families more holistically.  \nWe are continuously building a deeper understanding of how to help girls thrive in sport. With these new insights, the research can help parents, coaches, program leaders, and those working at the sport league levels to not only recruit and retain girls in sport, but also find effective ways to address disparities and forge new pathways for greater engagement.  \nThe research also makes clear that all girls benefit from multiple champions for sport in their daily lives. Parents in particular can play a powerful role in supporting their daughters’ love of sport, while also helping to break down the barriers they face. At the community level, we should continue celebrating and supporting the champion organizations that are increasing access and opportunity and ensuring that girls not only try sport, but also find joy, confidence, strength, and the sense of belonging that keeps them playing during their growing years and throughout their lifetimes.  \nThe Women’s Sports Foundation is proud to be at the forefront of research and practice, and we look forward to working with other leaders in the field to bring these new research findings into practice.  \nDr. Deborah Antoine, CEO, Women’s Sports Foundation  \nWomen’s Sports Foundation  \n[WomensSportsFoundation.org](WomensSportsFoundation.org)  \nKeeping Girls in the Game: Factors that  \n1 Influence Sport Participation  \nAcknowledgments  \nWomen’s Sports Foundation Acknowledgments  \nFirst, the Women’s Sports Foundation is indebted to the study authors, Nicole Zarrett, Ph.D.; Phillip Veliz, Ph.D.; and Don Sabo, Ph.
