Since 2020, a truly brilliant idea took flight right here in Michigan: Girls Take the Field. It’s the very first flag football league just for girls, you see! It gives them a proper playing field of their own where they can develop their skills, compete with great confidence, and make friendships that will last a lifetime. It’s more than just a game; it's about helping girls feel a sense of belonging, become leaders, and participate without a lot of fear.
For over 40 years, an educator and coach named Genevieve Caffelli has been the guiding force behind all this. SNAPtivities was her vision, and she’s brought so much joy to over 45,000 children across Southeast Michigan. The mission is quite simple, really: to develop Strong, coNfident kids through Active Play and Positive Coaching. Whether it’s a sports league, a creative class, or a birthday party, SNAPtivities always blends fun with a good bit of purpose.
