We already know the wonderful effects physical activity can have on girls. It can enhance their lives physically, emotionally and socially. GoGirlGo! combines physical activity with education to focus on reducing and preventing health-risk behaviors. In 2004 and again in 2006, the GoGirlGo! curriculum received a Gold National Health Information Award. The Women’s Sports Foundation offers FREE GoGirlGo! educational curriculum kits for coaches, teachers and youth program staff. View the video to the left to get a glimpse of the program in action.

Julie Foudy The GoGirlGo! curriculum is divided into two age groups—preteens (girls ages 8-12) and teens (girls ages 13-18). The material for the younger girls is focused on helping them understand various pressures they are faced with and make healthy choices for their body and mind. The teen material is focused on helping girls become leaders as they deal with the more mature challenges of being a teenager. Topics like body image, self-esteem, bullying and drugs are candidly approached via the voices and personal stories of champion female athletes.
