V is for Victory. So is IX.
For too many girls, the likelihood of their participation and the quality of their playing experience is far from equal. With this in mind, we are launching a new campaign: V is for Victory, So is IX to ensure that girls and women have an equal opportunity to excel in sports. This campaign targets you plus your students, friends, parents, coaches and administrators to ensure that you have the tools you need to advocate for Title IX in your schools. Find out more about this exciting campaign and event series.
