a place for Girls to
dream bigger, and do more.
The Girls First (G1) Program from The Sanneh Foundation is designed to create space where girls can thrive—on and off the field. In many communities, girls are still sidelined in sports due to cost, access, or environments that weren’t built for them, and G1 changes that. Through sports, mentorship, and community, girls gain more than skills—they build confidence, find their voice, and develop as leaders in a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where every girl belongs, grows, and leads.
-
G1 provides girls cost-free, high level sports, personal, and professional development opportunities.
-
Any girl, ages 7-18 may join G1. We are currently working to expand to include college ages (19-22). We prioritize girls from underserved communities and backgrounds in St. Paul.
-
We primarily train at the Conway Sports Dome / Fields. We also play in leagues throughout the St. Paul area.
-
We operate year round, with league play in the fall, winter, and summer. Our training schedule is all season, minus fall for high schoolers. We have open registration and you may join us at any point in the season.
-
We are cost free, and high quality. We have experienced staff who care, and have a wealth of experience from sports licensure to D1 playing experience. We provide equal opportunities for all G1 players!
