According to a Women’s Sports Foundation research report Coaching through a Gender Lens: Maximizing Girls’ Play and Potential (April 2019):
“Youth sports participation is linked to substantial physical, social-emotional and achievement-related benefits. For girls in particular, research consistently demonstrates sports participation is linked to their improved physical and mental health; academic achievement; and increased levels of body esteem, confidence and mastery, with some indication that girls reap greater benefits from sports participation than do boys.”
At ABSC we focus on increasing participation of girls in soccer.
• We provide access to girls teams from a young age.
• We seek to collaborate and partner with community organizations with a focus on the wellbeing of girls, such as Female Footballers and Girls Leadership.
• We collaborate with Cal Women’s Soccer to provide meaningful, inspiring experiences for our girls to continue to play soccer as they develop into adolescence.
We are proud to offer a full-week training track specifically designed for our Girls Winter Clinic. Female players will receive tailored instruction in a supportive, high-expectation environment. Coaches will deliver activities aligned with each player's developmental stage while encouraging creativity, resilience and individual development. This cohort trains side-by-side with the broader clinic but will benefit from a consistent, connected program that focuses on how girls most effectively build skills, develop confidence and community across age groups.
