Middle School girls are dropping out of sports at twice the rate of boys.  Many girls drop out because they don't believe they'll have the opportunity to compete in high school.  At the She Can Play event, parents got the inside scoop on the many athletic opportunities for girls from Edina High School Administrators and Coaches.  This informative and insightful evening was made possible due to the generosity of our partner The Riveter and dozens of EHS coaches and administrators.
