The San Antonio Spurs and Nike have teamed up to introduce Game Growers, a new program that encourages eighth grade girls to become invested in their community and to play sports.
“By age 14, girls are dropping out of sport at twice the rate of boys. According to a 2018 study from the Women’s Sports Foundation, nearly 40 percent of girls don’t participate in sport, versus 25 percent of boys.”
Through collaboration with participating WNBA and NBA teams, Game Growers strives to inspire girls to be game changers in their hometown.
