Leadership And Development of our Youth in Sports(LADYS), Inc. is responding to a need to increase the skill level of young girls playing basketball in our community. Many young girls with a desire to compete in sports are unable to effectively receive the instruction and direction to excel in basketball due to lack of opportunity and access. LADYS, Inc. has developed the Georgia Girls Hoops Academy (GGHA), to provide a platform that will deliver affordable training and competition to young girls in our community.
There are many benefits of young girls participating in sports that will enhance their overall mental and physical health. According to the Women’s Sports Foundation, “young girls who played sports fared better than non-athlete on multiple markers of psychological health, including high self-esteem and stronger social connections, such as higher levels of social support and fewer feelings of loneliness”. The Women’s Sports Foundation further states that, “their research linked basketball with levels of physical health and academic achievement”.
The GGHA will target young girls in grades 3rd-8th to provide structured and effective basketball camps, clinics and competition to improve and enhance the basketball skill of girls. GGHA seeks to collaborate with coaches from local school districts to identify young girls with a desire to learn and compete and provide them with the platform to excel. This collaboration will assist the local school district coaches in grooming potential athletes and producing competitive teams. In addition, GGBA will collaborate will community basketball trainers to provide their expertise to continually expose young girls to a high level of development.
