Description
Girls tell us the same thing: there aren’t enough safe spaces for girls' sports clubs or welcoming places to be active. Girls' Basketball creates a girls-only space led by local expert coaches, where 10-13-year-old girls can engage in basketball and be trained to attend away days, tournaments and have a residential trip to help develop the skills and training in small, friendly groups.
No trials, no pressure, and we will move at their pace. Sessions are culturally sensitive (female staff, modest kit options, privacy), and close to home. We’ll mix fun drills with mini confidence boosters, goal setting, teamwork, and self-care, so girls leave feeling stronger in mind and body.
Parents and carers are welcome to pop in. Young girls who enjoy it can train as assistant coaches, allowing the programme to grow from within. We’ll work with local schools and community venues to ensure timings are suitable for homework and faith commitments.
More girls are taking part in regular activity, new friendships, and a stronger sense of belonging. This will be a warm space that listens. Girls' Basketball is about joy, movement, and giving girls the room they’ve been asking for.
