New Jersey Youth Soccer is proud to continue the evolution of its NJYS Growing the Girls Game (G3) Initiative. Originally started in 2021, the G3 Initiative focuses on empowering females both on and off the field, and at all ages and stages of the soccer experience.
With an emphasis being placed on the girls’ youth game, the G3 Initiative endeavors to introduce more girls and women to opportunities in the game while also helping to grow female participation in administration, coaching, refereeing and playing. NJ Youth Soccer announced the addition of Women and Girls in Soccer (WAGS) and Soccer Girl Problems as key supporters of the initiative as G3 programming in 2023.
