Hijabi Ballers

The right product can make a big difference in how girls experience sport—and for some girls, this includes wearing the hijab. The Nike Hijab Product Playbook will help coaches, parents and organizations give hijab-wearing athletes—and their teammates—the information and support they need to keep playing.

We believe in the power of sport to unite and inspire people to take action in their communities. We work with grassroots organisations, partners and employees around the world to advance equality, level the playing field for all and make play and sport more approachable and accessible for kids. Because we know that active kids do better—in school, in their communities and in their future careers. And while all kids are made to play, not every kid gets the opportunity.

Lay-Up Basketball works to harness the power of the sport and culture of basketball to develop the skills and confidence children and youth need to navigate their future. Working to increase opportunities for girls in sport and elevate coach development Lay-Up will provide meaningful physical activity in the communities they serve.

Start2Finish helps make the dream of graduation a reality. Their Running and Reading programme addresses the need for enhanced literacy and physical activity among children experiencing poverty/deprivation in the communities it services.

Now more than ever, coaches can be change makers in communities—but they need the tools to help us level the playing field for girls. Nike and We Coach created the Made to Play Coaching Girls Guide to equip coaches with the tools to make sport fun for girls now and in the future.
