BASIC BELIEFS
- Sporting opportunities
for females should be based on the philosophy of “a
sport for every girl."
- Advocacy programs and legislative
efforts should focus on providing females of all ages,
races, creeds, ethnic origins, economic levels, physical
and mental abilities, and interests, with opportunities
to fully participate in quality sport and physical activity
programs.
- Females should be provided with
opportunities to develop essential skills required to
be leaders in sport and physical activity.
- Females should achieve equality
with males, not only as participants but also as leaders
and representatives, in all organizations responsible
for sport conduct and policy development.
- Women currently in sport leadership
positions should be encouraged to formulate networks,
develop support systems, and mentor those girls or women
interested in pursuing careers or positions in sport
or physical activity.
- All female and male students
in California schools and colleges should have equal
access to intra/interscholastic sport programs.
- All female and male coaches
of school athletic teams should be credentialed by an
accrediting organization or agency.
- With the support of the CAHPERD
Girls and Women in Sport Vice President and the California
State Coordinator for National Girls and Women in Sport
Day, all girls in California schools should be provided
the opportunity to be involved in a NGWS Day event.
- CAHPERD should identify, promote
and support research projects that focus on reducing
the inequity gap between males and females in sport
participation and sport leadership.
- CAHPERD should identify, promote
and support educational programs designed to enhance
the political action skills of women so they may become
