what is Shoot Like a Girl all about
More Than a Camp - It's a Movement
Shoot Like A Girl was built on a simple but powerful belief: when a young woman develops real skill, she develops real confidence — and confidence changes everything. By age 14, girls are dropping out of sports at higher rates than boys. From rising costs, unequal opportunity, social pressures and lack of support, girls face a range of barriers that can push them out of the game during critical developmental years. But research from the Women’s Sports Foundation continues to show that when girls stay involved in sports, the benefits extend far beyond the playing field. Sports empower girls to build confidence, leadership skills, healthy habits, and a stronger sense of belonging, helping them to step into their potential far beyond the game.
According to WSF research:
- 67% of women carry lessons from youth sport participation into adulthood
- 73% say sports taught them teamwork and 53% say sport taught them to learn from mistakes
- 71% who played youth sports later held formal leadership roles as adults – in business, civic life, and beyond
These findings show girls do not need to become professional athletes to benefit from sports. Participation helps build the foundation for future leaders, problem-solvers, and changemakers across every industry and community.
Quality Coaching
Shoot Like A Girl offers specialized camp programs designed to meet athletes exactly where they are — from beginners picking up a basketball for the first time to competitive players preparing for high school and AAU tryouts. Every session is led by experienced coaches who bring professional-level instruction and genuine investment in every athlete's growth. We don't run one-size-fits-all camps. We run focused, structured programs built around the specific skills each player needs to level up — whether that's shooting mechanics, post play, guard development, or tryout preparation. Every drill has a purpose. Every session has a plan. And every girl leaves better than when she arrived.
No Girl Left Behind
We believe that access to our camps should never be determined by a family's financial situation. That's why Shoot Like A Girl has a firm commitment: no girl is ever turned away. Scholarships and financial assistance are available for every program, with a simple application process designed to remove barriers — not add them. We also offer group rates and multi-camp bundle pricing to make participation as accessible as possible. Because the mission only works if every girl who wants to be here can be here. If cost is a concern, reach out. We will find a way to make it work.
