The player pathway for women and girls
This factsheet will assist coaches and clubs in developing the player pathway for women in their sport.
We need to better recognise that women and girls take up sport at many different ages and life stages. Governing bodies need to ensure that women of all ages are encouraged and supported to progress and reach their potential. After they have reached their peak, sports should also ensure that they are not lost to the sport.
Teenage girls and dropout
This factsheet explains the reasons why teenagers drop out of sport, and provides solutions for NGBs, clubs and coaches for retaining them.
It was first recognised in the 1957 Wolfendon Report that teenage girls were dropping out of sport at a faster rate than boys, this remains the case and unless the sport's sector acts this will not change.
Barriers to sports participation for women and girls
In this fact sheet we explore the range of practical, personal and social and cultural barriers that prevent women and girls becoming involved in sport and exercise. Our list of barriers also contains ideas for sports deliverers to implement to encourage and enable women and girls to participate.
