Keeping Girls in Sport<\/a><\/strong><\/em> is an online resource that helps coaches and youth activity leaders to create safe and respectful environments for female athletes that will help girls stay enrolled and engaged in sport and physical activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Keeping Girls in Sport program was created to help everyone who coaches girls, even parents, understand how girls develop physically, mentally, socially and emotionally. When we understand how and why girls play we can help every young athlete stay in sport, reach their potential, and remain active long after the competitions end. Finally becoming the next generation of inspiring female coaches and role models<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click here<\/a><\/strong> for further information about the Keeping Girls in Sport<\/strong><\/em> program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click here<\/strong><\/a> to enrol in the Keeping Girls in Sport<\/strong><\/em> program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether we realize it or not, each of us looks at the world differently, through different lenses which shape our perceptions, attitudes, and actions.
