One in every two Australian girls is ditching their sport by the age of 15, according to Australian research on sport participation (2019). There’s such a strong link between sport, the physical benefits of being active and from a mental health point of view, it can boost the confidence of teenage girls and women.

The common reasons for stopping include poor body image, lack of parental interest, peer pressure (or lack of peers doing sport) and lack of role models.

We're inviting all of our girls to put on their gis to assist in this Experience Judo Course for women to connect, learn together and inspire each other to keep going.
