Athletes and coaches inevitably face gaps in their sports involvement due to aging out of a program, injury, relocating, family planning and more. These factors combined with the systemic gap in resources and media coverage for women’s athletics make it that much more difficult for women to transition into a sport once they leave. We aim to ease the transition and be on the other side of the athletic bridge.

Play Gap is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that expands awareness, accessibility and support for women’s sports opportunities. Since 2018, we have created connections for recreational and club teams to spread the physical and mental health benefits of sports to more women in the community.

Formerly known as the Northeast Ohio Women’s Sports Alliance, Play Gap has evolved beyond regional efforts to address the wide-spread challenges experienced by adult women in sports.
