This is a non-profit organization that encourages and inforces positive and safe sports and activities for children across the nation. They offer resources to everyone from young athletes to volunteer administrators. I chose this website because I have always played sports and have volunteered with local youth sports as a coach in my hometown. This website keeps me updated on an issues and news going on with youth sports across the nation.

I am a parks and recreation major, I also take a referring and coaching class. I have always been involved in coaching youth sports and helping local teams. I have never heard of a female taking becoming a head coach for a varsity high school football team untill reading this article. I picked this article because it is encouraging to women like myself and other who have a passion for sports that we can also coach the "guy sports." This topic is still debated on and judged but mainly because I don't think the public has yet become accustomed to it. It is a huge step in women's role in male dominate sports.
