Sporting Chance. Girls Inc. launched this program to encourage girls to participate in sports. Studies have indicated that girl athletes are more likely to exhibit positive self-esteem, confidence levels, and to gain experience in cooperation, competition, and mental and physical self-discipline.


"Females who play sports in high school are more likely to do well in high school and college, feel popular, and participate in extra-curricular activities. They are 92% less likely to get involved with drugs, 80% less likely to get pregnant, and three times more likely than their non-athletic peers to graduate from high school." (Women's Sports Foundation)
43% of girls who exercise six and seven days a week, reported feeling "confident and capable" about their bodies. Just 17% of inactive girls could say that. (Melpomene Institute For Women's Health Research)

Answer 2

You need to do your own homework...but here are some things to hopefully get you started:

Talk about how sports help develop self-esteem, leadership, etc and why girls would benefit from the experience.

Maybe also talk about the benefits of sports/exercise in general for students.
