The S.E.L.F. Project was initially founded conducting local and global service projects to promote participation in sports and physical activity especially with girls and women in 2008. Trips abroad consisted of students who were diverse ethnically and socio-economically. During trips abroad, sports clinics were conducted to promote proficiency in the sport/activity, leadership, self-esteem and teamwork for both S.E.L.F. participants and those being taught. These projects also included the donation of sports equipment and the construction of basketball/multi-purpose courts, volleyball courts and soccer fields. Workshops were held with teachers and coaches, presenting information on the value of lesson planning, practice planning, coaching techniques and strategies and the important role coaches play in a young person’s life.
