Pedal Girl, Pedal

This past Saturday, June 24 we had the honor on receiving Chloe Woodruff, Programs Director from the Arizona Cycling Association who was a USA Olympic Athlete. Chloe was in charge of the program Pedal Girl, Pedal in Nogales, Arizona with the help of other coaches and volunteers.
Pedal Girl, Pedal! is our outreach initiative focused on recruiting and retaining female student-athletes, coaches, and volunteers. Why does the ACA need special measures to recruit more girls and women if programming is inclusive and equal? Although we have been successful in providing equal opportunities to everyone once they’re participating in our programs, we can only be truly equal when we address that some females may at times need different things to feel welcome and invited into ACA activities.
