Thank you
A tip of the hat to all of the businesses, friends and families that donate to Delaware Magic so that the girls and boys can play ball. With 7 teams made up of about 60 young ladies playing and 25 young men, it takes a big effort and great community involvement to make this happen. Frequently unmentioned but equally appreciated are the volunteer efforts of our parents and coaches.
Why Support
Why do we ask for support?
Why do we do so much so that a group of girls can play softball? Well……...• Girls who play sports do not follow popular culture’s idea of the ideal female form and have a positive image of their own bodies. • Girls who play sports are concerned with what their bodies can do, not what they look like. • High school girls are twice as likely as boys to have had a major depressive episode. Girls who play sports have higher self-esteem and much lower levels of depression.• Girls who play sports during the teen years have 80% fewer unwanted pregnancies.• Girls who play sports are 35% more likely to have no sexual activity at all during their high school years. 25% of all sexually active teenage girls are infected with an STD. • 38% of all 12-grade girls have used an illicit drug in the past year. Girls who play sports are 92% less likely to use marijuana, cocaine or most other illicit drugs. • Girls who play sports have much lower incidences of eating disorders.• 30% of all high school girls smoke. Girls who play sports are significantly less likely to smoke. • Girls who play sports in high school consistently have better grades than girls who don’t play sports. • Girls who play sports have higher educational aspirations, better school attendance, enroll in greater numbers in math and science courses, spend more time on homework, and take more honors courses. • Girls who play sports in high school are 3 times more likely to graduate from high school.• Girls who play sports in college are 20% more likely to graduate.• 80% of all female executives in Fortune 500 companies played in organized sports in their youth. • A girl who does not play organized sports by the age of 10 has only a 1 in 10 likelihood of being physically active at 25. • Girls who play sports tend to be active as adults and reduce the likelihood of breast cancer by 60%. Breast cancer afflicts 1 out of every 8 adult women. • Girls who play sports and remain active as adults have lower incidences of strokes, heart attacks, and other healthproblems. • Osteoporosis is caused by insufficient bone density in older women. The critical years for developing bone density are 12 to 16. Girls who exercise regularly during those years have 22% greater bone density, at the age of 60. • Due to a lack of enough organizations like the Delaware Magic, and the opportunities and commitment that we provide, girls still drop out of sports at a rate 6 times greater than boys. But mostly, it’s just because we love our daughters. Thank you! All statistics courtesy of the Women’s Sports Foundation
