As part of adidas’ She Breaks Barriers initiative, a global commitment to inspire and enable the next generation of female athletes, creators and leaders by removing barriers in sport, the sports brand launched ‘Three Stripe Live’ – the first-ever globally live-streamed series of girls’ grassroots sports on Twitter. 


In March, adidas helped raise awareness to the fact that women in sport lack visibility. Research shows that only 4% of sports media coverage in the U.S. is dedicated to women’s sport. To help adidas create more access, increase visibility and pursue equality and representation in the media, the ‘Three Stripes Live’ series of grassroots sports is being live-streamed on Twitter via @3StripeLive


The series of six events kicked off on April 19 at the adidas Windy City Volleyball National tournament in Chicago. The tournament serves as a national qualifying event for the 2019 USA Volleyball Girls Junior National Championships and is one of the largest volleyball tournaments in the U.S. The first live-stream, featuring a matchup between Louisiana club, Wattle Daub, and Chicago club, Sky High, received over 3.7M+ video views.
