👧 Why do girls stop playing sport, and what can clubs do about it?

Due to high demand of the workshop, the Game On, Girls: Why Girls Drop Out webinar is giving more clubs the chance to hear from Monica Beazley and explore practical ways to help girls feel welcome, connected and supported in sport.

Whether you're a coach, volunteer, administrator or committee member, you'll come away with ideas to help create an environment where girls can thrive as players, leaders and lifelong participants.

A shout out to the Peel Regional Academy of Sport Athletes who attended the Butterfly Foundation BodyKind Sports workshop last week.

PRAS were extremely fortunate to host a series of three workshops with the Butterfly Foundation specifically targeting parents, coaches, and athletes. All delivering the BodyKind in Sport message and important education.

Fantastic to host The Butterfly Foundation last night who delivered their BodyKind Sports workshop to our scholarship athletes.

This covered a range of topics centered around body pressures, healthy eating, and promoting body kind behaviours, attitudes and language.

Thanks to Danni and the team for visiting us and delivering a valuable workshop to our athletes.
