new england sports for women

New England Sports for Women (NESFW), part of Sports for Women nationally, is a non-profit organization whose goal is to build sports campuses for women and girls across the United States. Our initial New England campus will incorporate a lifelong wellness center, educational classrooms, public art and performance spaces, indoor training and lockers, a world-class soccer stadium, and adjacent competition/training fields – all with the mission to serve others and an emphasis on community engagement. The NESFW campus will support teams and players of all ages and abilities - weekend recreational clubs, college athletes, seniors, professional and semi-professional teams, athletes with disabilities, and youth players alike - giving our community valuable economic, athletic, and social value. Our educational programming will be diverse and encompass many inter-related themes: wellness, nutrition, mobility, strength, flexibility, mental toughness, and overall health. As the most universal and popular sport in the world, soccer will be the initial anchor, but in time, we’ll include other sports to help promote women’s empowerment and leadership, both on and off the pitch. In addition to our campuses, NESFW will fund a scholarship program to award college scholarships to female athletes from New England and (eventually) across the country. At this moment, the arc of history is giving women a platform for change and equality unlike any other era. Our mission is "to create and promote athletic opportunities for women,"​ and we think that begins with young athletes and continues throughout a lifetime. We need players, fans, parents, teachers, coaches, and sports lovers everywhere to join us to make this happen. By showcasing female athletes at the highest possible level - while offering programs and opportunities for everyday players and their families - New England Sports for Women will create a new platform for equality, community, and lifelong fitness.
