Nance has supported girl athletes as a youth softball and basketball coach.
As an advocate of women’s sports in Kansas City, Nance started the Kansas City Women’s Sports Association providing a structure for all adult women’s sports in the area: rugby, football, roller derby, lacrosse and swimming, to unite and work together.

In addition, she has launched her own not-for-profit entity – SupportHer with Sports to promote women’s health, esteem, and well-being with sports. 

Board to Professionalize Women's Flag Football
Nancy Wernes

Nancy is a life-long athlete having earned nine varsity letters in high school and played volleyball at the Collegiate Level. Athletics continued to be a large part of her life after college, and in 2004 she founded the Kansas City Storm to give women in and around Kansas City a rare opportunity: to play tackle football.

In three short years the Storm established themselves as a worthy opponent and in 2007 won their division crown!
