Creating a Pathway for the Next Generation of Female Coaches

In 1972, the year Title IX became law, approximately 90% of all women’s sports programs were headed by female coaches. Since then, interest in women’s athletics has exploded— with more girls and women participating in more sports than ever before. And yet today, just 42% of women’s sports teams are coached by women.*

The Academy for Sport Leadership is a Michigan-based nonprofit organization dedicated to reversing that trend by encouraging and training the next generation of professional female coaches. Through our Future Coaches Camp, Coach-Mentor Training Workshops, Athletic Administration Internships, Coaching Clinics, and Women’s Sport Summit, we inspire and educate young women—and prepare them for leadership positions in the world of women’s sports.
