Girls are just as capable as boys physically through primary school.......then we see a marked difference not only in performance, but a drop-off in participation.

Yes, the research confirms it.

This is where Active Girls 4 Life aims to make a difference.......

Keeping girls involved in exercise and physical activity during this adolescent time of transition....

Encouragong girls to try new things to discover what they like doing physically....

Creating a positive and safe environment where the emphasis is participation, rather than competition......

All in all, getting more girls active, more often and and having MORE FUN with physical activity and exercise.

Come join us!

Septemebr School Holidays and Term 4 programs will soon be open for enrolment....

Girls in primary school are just as physically capable as their male classmates, our research shows.

Fantastic to see the Matilda's dominating many of the world's best teams recently.

Soccer is a fantastic option for girls sport, no matter if they want to play competitively or simply have a kick in the park with friends.

The game is non-contact, encourages team work and has high coordination and fitness benefits.

And it FUN!! ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

Now young Australian girls have a generation of female soccer players to look up to.

Go Matilda's!!!

You might think beating three of the top teams in the world in quick succession would satisfy Matildas coach Alen Stajcic, but he says there is plenty more to come.
