Our mission is to champion equity and accessibility in sport for adult women.
About
We’re bridging the gaps in sport resources to keep women involved in athletics for as long as possible. From age 18 to 81, it is never too late to play.
Play Gap is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that expands awareness, accessibility and support for women’s sports opportunities. Since 2018, we have created connections for adult sports leagues and recreational teams to spread the physical, social, and mental health benefits of sports to more women. Formerly known as the Northeast Ohio Women’s Sports Alliance, Play Gap has evolved to extend beyond its regional efforts to address the wide-spread challenges experienced by adult women in sports.

Women everywhere have equal access to safe, inclusive sports.
