There are so many ways to #ShowYourStripes. Below are some suggestions:
If you’re female, age 1 to 100, you could pledge to find an activity that you love and keep it up – as a player, as a coach or as a supporter – from football to frisbee, cricket to canoeing, or tennis to triathlon.
If you’re a Sports Fan you could pledge to go to at least 3 women’s games or events this year or build awareness of women in sport by sharing coverage online.
If you’re a Player you could pledge to introduce one or more girls to your sport.
If you’re a Coach you could pledge to give some expertise to developing a female team or athlete.
If you’re a Teacher you could pledge to give more opportunities or support to girls when it comes to sport, to inspire them to get involved or to take the class to a female game or competition.
If you’re an Elite Athlete you could pledge to give a masterclass to girls who are aspiring to get there.
If you’re a Sports Club you could pledge to ensure parity with male and female athletes across the club.
If you’re a Journalist or Publisher you could pledge to give greater visibility to female athletes and teams.
And if you’re a Parent you could pledge to encourage your daughter to find or pursue a sport she loves or bring the whole family to see female athletes in action!
