GIRLS CLUBS

The Team Up Philly Girls Clubs are offered to girls in 4th through 8th grades.

 

Girls Clubs are centered around a values-based curriculum; respect, goal-setting, patience, positive communication, teamwork, resilience and grit are some of the topics we address together. Team Up Philly uses We Play Interactive, developed by the Women’s Sport Foundation, to help girls elevate their voices, tap into their power, and discover the joy that comes from physical activity and sport. Fitness drills and fundamentals of basketball and other sports are taught, practiced and played. The girls form a strong bond during the year, and participate in service projects and field trips. Scrimmages and games help teach important lessons about competition.

HIGH SCHOOL LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

The High School Leadership Academy is a program for girls who have excelled in Team Up Philly programs and want to stay on a positive path.

Girls in this program will:

  • Build a supportive, positive network of friends and mentors
  • Develop college, career, and life skills
  • Have special trips and activities to develop leadership traits and have fun
  • Have a network of mentors and role models
  • Have a chance to become a Team Up Philly junior coach/mentor through our internship program

 

We are excited to be able to stay connected with young women who have gotten so much out of Team Up Philly programs as they progress through High School and beyond.

Begins virtually on Saturday 10/21/23.

 


SATURDAY TENNIS


Saturday Tennis for girls in grades 4 and up will begin at Shepard Rec Center on Saturday, 9/30/23 from 11:00am-12:30pm. There are eight weeks of instruction planned, along with a local trip.
ALL equipment is provided and, as with all other Team Up Philly programs, there is no cost.  Sessions consist of tennis instruction and fitness, followed by snack and values/academic learning. Educational games, writing skills and character-building exercises are among the rotating activities the student athletes enjoy.

 


SPORTS FOR JUVENILE JUSTICE

Team Up Philly was asked to design a program for Sports For Juvenile Justice, a unique initiative that places adjudicated youth into sports-based youth development programs. One evening a week a group of teenage girls can be found hard at work at Elite Sports Factory learning fitness and basketball drills from Team Up Philly coaches. The group also spends time in the classroom, sharing nutritious snacks and engaging in character-building activities; conflict resolution, positive communication, anger management, goal-setting and creating healthy relationships are key areas of focus. The girls become a strong source of support, encouraging each other to make positive choices in their lives.

SJJ is a collaboration between the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Family Court, the Philadelphia Department of Human Services, the Philadelphia Youth Sports Collaborative, Northeast Treatment Centers and CustomEd.

Participants must fill out these 2 forms:

Classroom and court skills are stressed equally, and students also spend time every day engaged in lively discussions designed to encourage them to think through and thoughtfully express their opinions on a range of subjects.
