Outlet Sports & Recreation Information

There is a wealth of statistical information that details the physical, mental and social benefits of female participation in athletics. Given these individual and societal benefits of participation, there is an undeniable need for women of all physical skills and abilities to become and remain active. There is an even greater need to educate women of all ages of this need, with an added emphasis on those from less advantaged socioeconomic backgrounds who often face greater health risks due to lack of health awareness and information. Women, especially minority women, are also at a disadvantage as it pertains to careers in sports off the court, societal perceptions and media coverage of their participation in athletics and opportunities to cultivate their athletic abilities. Outlet Sports & Recreation seeks to help change this at the grassroots level by giving women of all backgrounds an outlet to use sports to their advantage. Outlet Rec encourages healthy and active lifestyles among women and young adults by giving them opportunities to showcase their talents in safe, competitive, organized settings while providing low cost to free sports entertainment in local communities throughout the New York area.
