a place for Girls to
dream bigger, and do more.
Girls don't need permission to lead. They need sport environments designed to support their success and opportunities to work together to hone their skills—on and off the field. The Girls First (G1) Program at The Sanneh Foundation addresses the real barriers female athletes encounter, including cost, access, and under-resourced programs. By combining competitive athletic development with intentional mentorship and inclusive spaces, G1 ensures young women can stay in the game, amplify their strengths, and thrive as leaders across every aspect of their lives.
-
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!
