Let Her Play is encouraging girls to attend Princeton Field Hockey vs. UCONN on September 17th at noon at Bedford Field (Princeton University). If you sign up to attend (for free!) you will be able to attend the meet & greet with the team following the game and receive some pretty cool swag from Let Her Play + Princeton Athletics!
Tickets are only needed for the school-aged participant(s) (parent/guardian should “purchase” tickets and enter the participant name(s) under “attendee” information).
Registration closes 48 hours prior to the event and is limited to 100 participants.
Let Her Play is a 501©(3), nonprofit organization with a mission to prepare girls for life through sports participation.
Did you know that there is a 7% wage gap between former athletes and former non-athletes? AND 73% of executives look for sports on a resume. (EY + espnW, 2017) Yet only 1:3 girls between the ages of 6-12 are playing sports in the United States (Aspen Institute, 2020). AND they drop out at a rate that is 1.5x that of boys by the time they hit adolescence (Refinery 29, 2017).
Do you want to know why sports have such a significant impact?
Because sports teach key life skills that are arguably not learned any other way (in addition to providing benefits to overall health and well-being).
At Let Her Play, we’re getting girls enrolled and engaged in sports programs nationwide to better prepare them for life and give them the ability to confidently leave it all on the field.
This event is co-sponsored by Princeton University Athletics.
If your child is 12 and under we encourage you to sign up for Princeton Kids Club. Your member benefits include:
Time: 12:00 pm EDT
