“If you can’t see them, you can’t be them.”

Women and Girls around the world are achieving incredible things in sport

We are Girls in Sport is a global movement to share stories of remarkable girls and women from a wide variety of backgrounds, in a wide variety of sports.

From ground breaking skateboarders, windsurfers and mountain climbers to rugby players, girls in martial art and cricketers, we are uncovering females who are making a positive, long lasting impact on sport, both professionally and at a grass roots level. We are giving them the visibility they need to showcase their success, inspire others and fulfil their potential.

They are the role models for the young girls of today.

We are making them visible to the world.

We are on a mission to increase the participation and retention of girls and women in sports and physical activity. There is growth and momentum in women’s sport and we want to encourage more young girls to find a sport they love. When they find it, the key is to encourage them to stick with it, or if not, to try another sport. It is worrying to read so many reports and studies from across the world of how there is a significant drop in girls walking away from sports they once enjoyed as soon as they hit puberty. We want to inspire and encourage our girls to keep going.

Thanks to We are Girls in Sport, our young girls will see them so they can be them.

The time is now.
