About Us

She Got Game aims is to increase participation levels, and the equality of access for disadvantaged young women (aged 13-30) in grassroots sport and physical activity. The partnership will engage girls throughout the project in co-creating and testing evidence-based girl-centred programmes and resources.

Background

She Got Game is a follow-up of a previous Erasmus+ project: Changing the Game by Changing its Players. This project showed that the number one issue many European youth work and community sport organisations struggle with is the participation of girls. Community sport coaches from Europe have said they find very few girls participating in their activities, we want to attain an equal percentage of boys and girls participating, but the current reality is still far removed from that.

Key in our approach is to see the girls as resources to be developed, rather than problems to be solved. The starting point is not that it is so problematic that fewer girls participate in sport, but that sport could become more e.g. fun, diverse, different, and inclusive when girls are involved in designing and implementing the activities.
