More Than Soccer
Girls Power Weekend was created with a simple vision:
To provide every girl with an opportunity to discover her potential.
While soccer remains at the heart of the weekend, the event is equally focused on helping girls develop confidence, resilience, leadership, friendships, and a sense of belonging. Through interactive sessions led by accomplished professionals, athletes, coaches, healthcare providers, educators, and community leaders, participants will explore topics that extend far beyond the game itself.
From discovering personal strengths and building confidence to learning about injury prevention, mental wellness, leadership, officiating, and life after youth sport, every session has been carefully designed with one goal in mind:
Helping girls thrive.
An Investment in the Future of Girls' Sport
One of the most unique aspects of Girls Power Weekend is that it has been made free for participants.
Thanks to the generosity of community sponsors, volunteers, speakers, and local businesses, barriers to participation have been removed so that more girls and families can experience a weekend created specifically for them.
Every sponsor, volunteer, and presenter has chosen to invest in the future of girls' sport—not only by supporting soccer, but by supporting the next generation of confident young women.
A Weekend Built by Community
Girls Power Weekend represents countless hours of planning and collaboration between speakers, sponsors, volunteers, healthcare professionals, coaches, educators, vendors, and community partners who all share the same belief:
Girls deserve opportunities to be seen, heard, supported, and inspired.
Whether you're attending your first soccer event or have been involved in the game for years, Girls Power Weekend offers something for everyone.
