A girl participates in an athletic competition to show that girls can be as good at it as the boys are. She then makes good by:
Outplaying/Outsmarting her male counterparts in an athletic competition
Joining another team, and winning a game for her team
Sometimes this happens in retaliation to being called "just a girl". Nine times out of ten, the girl is treated as a hero (with the "being carried on the other athletes' shoulders" treatment) upon winning the game.
Note that this may require pulling a Sweet Polly Oliver.
This is frequently an instance of a Jackie Robinson Story. Compare the "Gender-Normative Parent" Plot in that they both subvert gender norms, but whereas that trope centers on the same-sex parent's disapproval, the parents' input in this case is not as vital, and they tend to range from supportive to neutral. If a parent does have a problem with it, it's usually the father.
Sub-trope of Passionate Sports Girl and Prejudice Aesop. Also a sub-trope of Showing Up Chauvinists; non-sports examples should go there. Compare Mars and Venus Gender Contrast and Girls vs. Boys Plot. Not to be confused with One of the Boys, where a girl hangs out with boys in general.

Prey: Naru is treated contemptuously by the male Comanche hunters/warriors (aside from her brother, who's indulgent of her to a point), putting her down as a potential hunter and warrior. Over the film however she proves herself equally adept using weapons, a superior tracker and over all a much smarter combatant, as Naru studies everything the Predator does carefully, unlike the rest who are more prone to foolish frontal assaults which get them killed. This allows her to kill it when everyone else fails.

Lita played a sort of Sister Bear role when her boyfriend Matt Hardy was battling The Undertaker at the 2002 Royal Rumble. She crashed the Rumble Match and she and Matt double-teamed the "Deadman." They didn't get very far, but it was still pretty badass.

In Zoey 101:
The very first episode feature a girls vs boys Basketball game in which the girls lose by only one basket. By the end of the game however, the entire school was cheering the girls on.
Subverted in the episode where Zoey joins the male's wrestling team. All of her male opponents choose to forfeit rather than wrestle her, because if they won, they would look like a jerk for beating up a girl; but if they lost, they would look like a wimp for losing to a girl. It turns out that the coach only let Zoey join the team for this exact reason, so that he could save his best wrestler for the final match of the tournament. His plan ends up failing when Zoey goes up against a Jerk Jock with no hangups about fighting a girl, and he wipes the floor with her.

In the Clone High episode "Homecoming: Shot in the D'Arc". Joan of Arc disguises as a boy by putting on a cap, t-shirt, and mustache, and calling herself "John D'Arc" so she can play for the boy's basketball team, since they don't allow girls or animals. When her disguise is blown, Abe gives a speech on letting Joan take the last shot. She then hits a free-throw to score the school's first point against their competition, and win a bet principal Scudworth had made against their rival's principal... and then the team treats the Abe Lincoln clone as a hero for his speech, leaving Joan feeling completely betrayed.

She's the Man, the modern re-imagining of William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, centers around this trope. The girl's soccer team is cut, the girls are denied the chance to try out for the guys' team because "girls can't beat boys," so Amanda Bynes transfers schools in drag and Hilarity Ensues. In the finale, she proves herself by making a game-winning kick for her team while playing as her actual gender after it's been revealed.

Chyna was the first woman to enter the Royal Rumble and compete in the King of the Ring tournament. She didn't win either of them but it was still pretty groundbreaking.
Beth Phoenix also entered the Royal Rumble and eliminated the Great Khali but was quickly eliminated by CM Punk. It was still very impressive.
Nia Jax entered both the women and men's Royal Rumble matches in 2019. And the men made quick work of her and threw her out of the ring (but not without Nia showing them she wasn't going down without a fight)

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Dee took part in the football try outs in one episode just to prove that she was more athletic than Mac and Dennis who were also competing. Despite the fact that she had a "spine made of glass", she made it farther than any of the other guys, but only because they were completely out of shape. At the end of the episode, she injures her foot just kicking the football.

The Simpsons:
"Lisa On Ice": Lisa becomes the star goalie of a hockey team, leading to the inevitable showdown with Bart, who plays for another team, although Bart is actually in conflict with Lisa due to Homer's favoritism rather than actual chauvinism. They eventually realize their relationship is more important and make peace without deciding a winner.
"Bart Star" subverts this: Lisa boldly declares her intent to join her brother Bart on his football team, but becomes reluctant when coach Ned Flanders welcomes her with open arms, mentioning the four other girls on the team, who are also welcoming. Lisa tries to salvage her mold-breaking intentions by decrying the footballs for being made of animal parts, but learns that they're synthetic, with the profits donated to charity. Unable to cope with not being on the moral high(er) road, she runs off sobbing.

Subtly deconstructed in Parks and Recreation. A few years before the show, Pawnee's boy scout group refused to include a girl, so Leslie started her own group called the Pawnee Goddesses in order to prove that girls can be good outdoorsmen too. However in practice she ends up reinforcing the very stereotypes she's claiming to be opposing, having her group never do any actual wilderness activities and instead having them laze about, doing stereotypically feminine things like "puppy parties" or pillow fights. She also tries to keep boys out of the club just like the boy scout group did to girls, which the girls in her troop call her out on. When she does let boys in, they only join because in her club they get to screw around and play instead of doing work. When she makes Ron acknowledge that "GIRLS CAN DO IT TOO" it comes off less like an empowering victory and more like a somber, Kick the Dog moment where she makes Ron feel like crap, and Leslie is visibly unhappy about it afterwards.

The Bellflower Bunnies: In episode "Refried Donuts", Violet (Pirouette) claims she wants to become a firefighter when she grows up, but her brothers, especially Mistletoe, immediately laugh at her and say that she can't be a firefighter because she's a girl. Their Aunt Zinnia comes to Violet's defense and scold the boys, telling them that girls can do things as well as boys. Unfortunately, the bunnies' father, Papa Bramble, don't help things any by agreeing with his sons. However, later in the episode, when Papa Bramble is too frightened to climb high on the rooftop to hang up lights, Aunt Zinnia climbs it and, despite also being afraid, successfully hangs the lights, making Papa Bramble take back what he said earlier and admit girls and boys can do the same thing, much to Mistletoe's dismay. Then, near the end of the episode, the family's house is on fire, and Mistletoe goes in to try to help the firefighters save their home, but gets lost in the smoke. Violet bravely rushes in to find him, but also gets trapped inside. A firefighter comes in and saves both the children and, to Mistletoe's shock (as well as Violet's delight), the firefighter was a female. After being scolded by their father and aunt and trying on some firefighter helmets, Mistletoe reconciles with his sister by proudly admitting the helmet looks just as good on girls as they do boys.

Brian Clevinger's How I Killed Your Master has Fang Lin, most accomplished disciple of the Tiger Knuckle martial arts style, and all-around Ace. In her introduction, she wipes the floor with some goons who have Liu Wong at their mercy, and in a flashback she handles Wong himself (an accomplished martial artist in his own right) without breaking a sweatnote Tiger Knuckle discipline is taught by a woman, Fang Lin's victory was helped along by Wong being an Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy at that point in his life..

Invoked on an episode of Scrubs. Turk doesn't pick the only female in the group of candidates to be his assistant, which Elliot decides is sexist, so she gets Carla (Turk's wife) to deny him sex to punish him.
Subverted when it's revealed that Turk's decision had nothing to do with sexism, his choice was based on the candidate's use of a three-colored pen to sign his name (stupid but not sexist). Once Turk's choice turns down the job (he never actually wanted the position, he just wanted to use his three-colored pen), Turk has no problem giving the position to the female intern. Turk also proves to Elliot that the female intern was purposefully invoking this trope to get Elliot to support her.

On King of the Hill, Connie ends up trying out for the boys wrestling team after Peggy takes her on as her personal project. At first the coaches tell her that wrestling is a boy's sport, until Peggy and her parents bring up Title IX and threaten to sue. The team is forced to actually have tryouts (as opposed to letting everyone who shows up make the team) for the first time, and the coach gets revenge on Peggy by making Connie wrestle Peggy's son Bobby. The episode ends with Bobby and Connie putting on a theatrical wrestling show when the match comes to get around this.
It should be noted though that most of the conflict of this episode was actually a subversion of this trope. While Peggy's attempt to stick it to a pig-headed P.E. coach is what kicks the plot in motion, most of the actual conflict comes from the fact that Bobby ends up stuck in a no-win situation because of it. Not only does the couch start targeting him in revenge by forcing him into a match with Connie, but the show also makes a point that if he loses to Connie, he'll be mocked by his classmates for losing to a girl. If he does win against her, he'll be branded as a girl beater and further shunned by them. Ultimately, it was Bobby and Connie working together that allowed them to figure a way out of it with their reputation intact.

In The Biskitts episode "The Princess and the Plea," a princess Biskitt is captured by the evil King Max. The male Biskitts (Waggs, Bump, Shiner, Downer, Scat, and Mooch) set off to rescue her and leave behind the female Biskitts (Sweets, Lady, and Wiggle) because they feel that saving princesses is "guys' work." The girls, suspecting something wrong, follow anyway. The boys wind up getting captured and imprisoned along with the princess, but fortunately the girls arrive in time to save them and help them escape.

Lizzie McGuire plays with the trope in an episode. Lizzie tries out playing football with the boys and discovers she enjoys it. Uniquely the guys have no problem with her playing, once she shows how good she is at it. The conflict instead comes from the other girls who mock her for being "one of the boys". Lizzie then learns An Aesop that it's possible to be a Girly Girl and enjoy roughing it up. Their Brawn Hilda of a coach reveals that she likes to sew her own dresses and go line dancing on weekends.

Part of the backstory of the Pathfinder Iconic Character Amiri of the Six Bears. She grew up a woman in a very patriarchal tribal society, and began competing with the men to prove herself from a young age. She would challenge young men to fights and joining the hunters on hunts, always aiming to do better than the best man could do. Rather than the usual outcome, Amiri instead became a subject of mockery not only by her own tribe, but by all neighboring tribes as well for putting up with her. After her tribe attempted to kill her in an Uriah Gambit, Amiri abandoned her home to become a Barbarian Hero instead.

In the Adventures of the Gummi Bears episode, "Girls Knight Out," Princess Calla joins a competition in disguise in a contest of who would be her Royal Protector to prevent being shackled with one, which includes a surprise challenge by her own father in disguise. Eventually, after winning, she comes clean to her father the King and he notes that he was deeply impressed by her fighting skills and publicly announced that she needed no bodyguard after all.

In The Bad News Bears they lost the baseball game. But Amanda (played by Tatum O'Neal) was definitely a kick-ass pitcher. It's something of a Downplayed Trope, however, in that she has to be talked into playing, her acceptance on the team is a very minor source of conflict at most (as the team's equal-opportunity bigot, Tanner, is the only one to have issue, and she quickly puts him in his place), and one of her conditions for joining the team is that Coach Buttermaker pays for her designer clothes and ballet classes

"St. Gilligan and the Dragon," an early episode of Gilligan's Island sees Ginger and Mary Ann go "on strike" from doing all of the domestic chores for the castaways until the guys build them their own hut, which they've been promising to do since the Minnow crashed; Mrs. Howell joins their crusade when she points out that Thurston has also been putting off constructing a hut for just the two of them. The Professor grabs the Jerkass Ball and declares that they don't have time, and furthermore that men are naturally better leaders than women. Ginger, Mary Ann, and Mrs. Howell then team up to establish a camp of their own and succeed, while the guys prove hopelessly unable to manage things without the women to help them.

Played with in Avatar: The Last Airbender. Katara's skill at waterbending did manage to impress Pakku, who believed that women shouldn't learn combat-bending, when she instigated a fight with him, but while she put up a good fight, he still crushed her since he has far more experience than her. He still refused to teach her afterwards until he learns that Katara's grandmother is actually his long-lost love, whom he drove away with his attitude. After he accepts Katara as a student and sees her progress, he chides all his other students for not keeping up.

Phineas and Ferb has an Olympics-type match between...well, Buford, the bully, who press-gangs Baljeet, and Isabella, who gets Candace to help her. The girls win.
Of course the girls and boys would have tied, if Buford hadn't cheated at the end.
Buford seems to retain an unwillingness to back down against girls in other episodes, too, such as "Let's Take a Quiz" and "Brain Drain." We never find out who wins the former, while Isabella beats him again in the latter.

Degrassi Junior High, "The Great Race." The girls' swim team challenges the boys' soccer team to a swimming match. The boys secretly know the girls' team is better, but they think they can win — because the girls' star swimmer is morbidly afraid of letting boys see her in a bathing suit and because they allow champion swimmer Snake to join the team, even though he's awful at soccer.

M*A*S*H had a bowling episode in which Margaret Houlihan tried for half the episode to tell Potter she would be a valuable asset to the team, but female team members were so far from his thoughts that when she said she wanted to help, he assigned her the task of seducing the major player for the opposition. Of course, once she ends up on the team proper, she pulls her weight, and the 4077th wins the bet.

Revolutionary Girl Utena: Subverted and deconstructed through the show's subtext. Utena herself seems to play this plot line straight (teenage girl who plays sports better than the boys, takes the masculine role of "Duelist" and explicitly wants to be a "Prince"). However, from the start she's already counted among Ohtori Academy's "elite" students (a fact that she ignores at every turn) and her flaunting of gender roles further cements her role as "special". Contrasted with the more "ordinary" Wakaba and how dismissively she's treated during her brief stint in the sun, Utena's role defiance is merely the exception that proves the rule.

Inverted and parodied mercilessly on Futurama. Leela is offered the chance to be the first female professional Blernsball player in history—but only because her single eye makes her lack depth perception and thus inevitably bean whoever's up to bat against her pitching. Notably, when the Blernsball talent scout approaches Leela to sign her on, he politely and repeatedly makes it clear that's she awful and he will only be hiring her as a publicity stunt, which defies the chauvinism usually associated with this trope. Later, a genuinely-talented female Blernsball player named Jackie Anderson calls Leela out for the damage she's doing to women's attempts to play by reinforcing negative stereotypes; when the women face off in a final game, Jackie wins, but assures Leela that she ended up being a role model anyway... by encouraging girls to prove that they don't suck as much as she does.
Leela's Arcturan Kung-Fu master insists he would automatically win in a fight against Leela because "Girls lack the will of the warrior".

Season 3 of Young Sheldon has Missy ask her dad to show her how to play baseball because she wanted to impress a boy she liked, only for the boy to not be interested in her. She continues playing ball with George just for the sake of it, until she decides that she wants to join the school baseball team. The coach doesn't want a girl on the team, but lets her try out when Meemaw rips him a new one (and impresses the coach so much that he asks Connie out). Missy ends up getting on the team and standing up for herself to anyone who dares to mock her for it. Missy's actual skill as a player though is mixed, she's a great pitcher, but a terrible batter since she never learned to bat.

In Hurricanes episode "Deep Cover", several players from the Hispaniola Hurricanes suffered injuries that prevented them from joining their uninjured teammates in a soccer game against the Garkos Gorgons. The Hispanola Hurricanes' owner, Amanda Carey, decided to join them but had to pull a Sweet Polly Oliver because the World Soccer League had a rule against girls being part of the team. The only chauvinist character in the story was Hurricanes Coach Jock Stone. The Hurricanes won 3-2, Jock learned a lesson, but Amanda was too honest to accept a victory like that and told the truth to the League, despite knowing the Gorgons would be declared winners.

Beth Phoenix also entered the Royal Rumble and eliminated the Great Khali but was quickly eliminated by CM Punk. It was still very impressive.

The ending of Girl Got Game definitely counts, complete with the whole manga being about the protagonist pulling a Sweet Polly Oliver.

Baby Looney Tunes has a few moments of this.
In "Tea and Basketball", Baby Lola Bunny wants to play basketball with Bugs, Daffy, and Taz but is ignored because she's a girl. Meanwhile, Sylvester wants to join Melissa and Petunia's tea party, but is shunned because he's a boy. Reluctantly, Lola joins the girls with their tea party and Sylvester plays basketball with the boys. Sylvester then fakes an injury, so Lola can take his place. The moment Lola is put in, she easily scores, proving girls can play basketball as well as boys. At the same time, Sylvester proves to Melissa and Petunia that boys can play tea party perfectly well.
In "Bend It Like Petunia", Floyd teaches the kids soccer, but Daffy insists that girls can't play soccer as well as boys and spends most of the episode mocking Lola, Melissa, and Petunia. He ends up eating his words when Petunia scores a goal, while he was the goalie, tying their game, and forcing Daffy to admit that girls can play soccer as well as boys.

Quarterback Princess centers upon Tami Maida, who signed up for the boys' football team because a girls' team didn't exist. Despite concerned parents raising doubts, the principal points out that Title IX law forbids discrimination based on gender. Tami proves to be both more elusive and more accurate than the starting QB, and earns so much respect from her teammates that they help finance her evening at the school prom.

Subtly deconstructed in Last Man Standing. Eve is asked by her high school's football coach to become the team's kicker after he sees her kicking skills at a contest. Rather than doing it just to show up the boys, she accepts because she thinks it will be fun. After she does well in a few games, everyone keeps praising her for being the only girl in the league and tells her how inspirational it is for women everywhere. However, Eve hates being singled out by the press and would rather have people not make a big deal of it and treat her just like the other players. It's also worth mentioning that there is never any mention of her teammates being sexist towards her. While the girls thought her boyfriend was mad about her joining and showing him up, it turns he likes having her on the team and do well and was mad about something else entirely. Eventually the pressure of representing women gets to her and her performance suffers as a result.

Discussed in Atlantis: The Lost Empire. In a conversation with Milo, Audrey mentions that her father wanted two sons: one to follow him into the mechanic trade and the other to become a middleweight pro boxing champion. Instead, he got two daughters. Audrey's the mechanic, and when Milo asks about her sister, Audrey replies that "she's 24-and-0 with a shot at the title next month."

Parodied in "Big Time Jobs," an episode of Big Time Rush. Carlos takes the position of Gustavo's production assistant, and is forced to deal with an espresso machine named C.A.L. (a parody of a certain famous A.I.) that eventually becomes sentient and attempts to take over the world by flooding it with foam. Kelly, Gustavo's assistant manager, tells Carlos that he'll have to deal with the problem on his own—until C.A.L. starts spouting sexist rhetoric ("WOMEN ARE WEAK"). She then takes a baseball bat to the machine.

Inverted in the South Park episode "Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000," where we're supposed to root for the boys in the sled race while it's the girls who act snotty and superior. Though their secret weapon (Cartman's massive extra weight) gets arrested for a hate crime, they wind up winning in the end, and the most annoying girl is implied to be eaten by a bear. Yay!
