About SGP
Welcome to Sports Girls Play! I have created this resource site to share my insight into girls and sports through the eyes of a coach, an athlete, and a mother of three.
As a child I participated in competitive swimming, softball, gymnastics, cross country running and judo. I can’t say that I was overly successful at any one sport, but the life skills, time management skills and positive self-esteem I gained from participating in sports as a child have all helped shape my life.
I began teaching gymnastics in 1984. Since then, I have coached gymnastics in a part-time and full-time capacity. I currently coach part-time at a local, private gymnastics club.
Additionally, I am a mother of three. My son plays ice hockey in a “house” league, one of my daughters is a competitive gymnast and my youngest daughter discovered a passion for swimming this summer and is now swimming competitively year-round.
I also invite parents of athletes to become contributors of the site. If you have an article, story or tips related to girls in sports, feel free to submit your article for inclusion in the site. You may email it to char@sportsgirlsplay.com.
