Building Strong, Brave, Confident Girls – Ages 6–9

how tough girlz started

Coach Lisa, owner of Challenge U. Softball®, opened the facility back in 2011 with one mission: to create a place where girls were trained by women and coached to believe in themselves as much as they work on their skills.

Fast forward to today... Lisa is now a mom of four with her oldest being her 6-year-old daughter, Carmella.

Lisa wanted a class for her that:

Focused on strength and power
Taught her to feel confident and capable
Reinforced a strong, certain mindset about who she is

Carmela was already in dance, gymnastics, basketball, and piano - amazing activities, but none of them were specifically built around what Coach Lisa has done at Challenge U. for over 15 years: using movement and coaching to build girls’ self-confidence from the inside out.

So Lisa decided to create it.

She teamed up with Elizabeth Carr, a heart-centered elementary school teacher who empowers kids through movement, positive language, and strong role modeling. Elizabeth brings high energy, fun fitness routines, and strength-based movement set to music - helping girls feel confident, athletic, and proud of their bodies.

Together, they launched TOUGH GIRLZ to give young girls a space to build strength, confidence, and self-love through movement.

This class was originally built for Carmella, but it’s now here for all girls ages 6–9 as we raise the next generation of powerful, confident, self-loving young women.

what is tough girlz?

Tough Girlz is a 1-hour circuit-style movement class that blends fun fitness with intentional confidence-building.

Through high-energy stations and simple mindset coaching, girls learn that being strong, brave, and proud of who they are is something to celebrate.

What Girls Will Do & Learn

Each class is designed to help young girls:

Develop physical strength through age-appropriate fitness stations
Improve coordination and athletic foundations (balance, agility, core strength)
Practice self-belief and positive self-talk
Build resilience by completing challenges and celebrating effort
Learn to feel proud of their bodies and what they can do

The environment is supportive, upbeat, and encouraging - no comparison, no pressure, just girls learning how strong they truly are.
