| Strategies for Change in the Sport Participation Patterns of African American Females |
| African American females face many barriers that limit their exposure to sport and deter them from participating. Based on suggestions gathered through interviews with African American female student-athletes, this session will be aimed at teachers, coaches, physical educators, and parents. It will serve to provide a comprehensive overview of the opportunities available to African American girls and women interested in participating in sport, encouraging others to participate, and being mentors. |
