This guide is designed to serve program Leaders and coaches working to recruit and retain girls in sport. This builds from The women’s sports foundation’s April 2019 Report coaching through a gender lens 1 and the work of other researchers and practitioners in the field.

The guide takes learnings and research and translates them into actionable tools. These recommendations have come together based on a review of the research on girls in sport, a convening of experts and leaders, and a test with coaches working in the field.
