We want 1,000 more women playing in our games by next International Women’s Day, March 8, 2024.

👋 Welcome

Thanks for taking the time to read more about our vision for the women’s and non-binary community at Street FC. We’re building the biggest football club in the world, and want to make sure it’s a club for everyone. The purpose of this page is to share our intentions and goals with you, and in doing so, we hope to hear from you in some way. If you’re supportive of getting women out on the field (and courts), we want your voice in this conversation.

👀  STFC Female Participation by the Numbers (as of 3/8/23)

• We’ve hosted 2810 games in the history of Street FC.
• Of those games, 1327 of them have had at least one female payer (almost 50%…not bad! 👍).
• We’ve had over 4230 unique players to date.
• Only 305 of those have been women. (7%… not good! 👎)

💡 Where We See Opportunity (AKA the problem)

The United States is a trailblazer in women’s soccer globally (just look at the USWNT, that’s what’s up! 🙌 ). For the players who continue to play at a competitive level beyond high school and college, there are many opportunities to continue to play. The problem is that there is a significant drop off in participation by women who don’t play at that level:

• Women and girls are 2 times more likely to drop out of sport than men.
• 1 in 3 girls drops out of sports by late teens (by comparison, dropout rate for teenage boys aged 16-18 is only 1 in 10).
• By age 17, more than half of girls will quit playing sports altogether.
