Our Story...
Girls in the Game was brought to life through the work of Dr. June Zimmer. June started the Girls in the Game in 2008 to provide young girls with an opportunity to build their sport skills, but more importantly, to use sport as a tool build friendships, improve their self-esteem, and to teach important life long lessons. June passed on the torch to Kaylan and Raynelle in 2017 and it is now run by Raynelle and Dionne.
Parent Testimonial...
"Our daughter Macy has participated in a number of the Girls in the Game programs. As a parent, we see the values that the coaches bring to the program. It's not about winning or losing, it truly focuses on bringing the best out in each young girl, greeting one another with a smile, a high five, maintaining a can-do spirit, a positive attitude, and making new friends all while learning a new sport or skill. Macy always looks forward to Girls in the Game for those reasons. We have witnessed our daughter get a boost in her confidence, gain an understanding and develop skills in a variety of sports, and learn how important it is to be a good person. Girls in the Game has provided a number of fun, memorable moments for not only our daughter, but our entire family!" ~Mitchell Clark
