About this Course

Join us for an inclusive program that fosters connection, safety, and empowerment, while building skills to navigate and enjoy sport confidently. Open to girls, gender non-conforming and gender-diverse individuals who identify as girls, ages 11-14. Each two-hour session begins with a one-hour workshop designed to build connection, confidence, and an understanding of how to participate in sport in ways that support your needs. Following the workshop, participants will engage in a one-hour physical activity—such as yoga, dance, or a team sport like basketball—to learn new skills, build confidence, and enjoy movement in an inclusive and supportive setting. **Participants will be in groups with support ratios of 1:4.
