This workshop is an interactive 1-hour workshop designed for girls and the women who support them. Together, participants will explore the history, challenges, and opportunities for women in sport—and imagine what sport can look like when women get to define it.
Through movement, discussion, and reflection, this session celebrates different ways of playing, competing, and showing up. It’s about confidence, connection, and creating a future where every girl feels she belongs in sport—exactly as she is.
