Studies have repeatedly shown that girls and women drop out of sport at a significantly higher rate than boys.
As girls enter adolescence, 1 in 3 drop out of sport compared to just 1 in 10 boys.
Beyond adolescence, women 19-31 years old participate in sport at just half the rate of men.
This workshop will help sport leaders create lasting solutions for keeping girls and women in sport and physical activity.
In a recent survey of program participants:
Learn how to create safe environments, prevent injuries, and offer positive role models for girls and young women in sport.
Discover how to design programs that meet the unique needs of girls to boost their participation and retention in sports.
Get actionable advice on applying these strategies in different settings to support girls and young women in sports.
“It was striking to learn that 90% of female CEOs played sports as children. The most valuable part [of the workshop] was a reminder of the biases I have had ingrained since childhood and to challenge my own thought patterns so I can empower the next generation.”
