A Career Pathway for the Next Generation of Female Coaches

In 1972, the year Title IX became law, approximately 90% of all women’s sports programs were headed by female coaches. Since then, interest in women’s athletics has exploded— with more girls and women participating in more sports than ever before. And yet, today, we're confronted with a deeply disturbing fact: The number of women who are coaching women's teams has declined by over half since 1972. 

The Academy for Sport Leadership (TASL) is a Michigan-based nonprofit organization dedicated to reversing that trend.  Our mission is to champion, educate, and to inspire young women to the coaching profession and other sport leadership positions. Through our Future Coaches Camp, Athletic Administration Internships and the TASL Alumnae Network we prepare young women for leadership positions in the world of sports.
