Prior to Title IX in 1972, over 90% of women’s collegiate sports teams were coached by women.

Today, 50 years later, data in the Women in College Coaching Report Card indicates at the NCAA Division I level, that number has decreased to a stagnant 43%, with only 7.3% women coaches of color.

According to the NCAA, for all three divisions, 41% of women coach women’s teams, and 5% coach men’s teams.

At the youth level, data is hard to estimate, but approximately less than 20% of teams are coached by women.
