3. Promote Participation in Sport –

Ensure girls feel confident to remain active in football and other sports, understanding how to manage their cycle while continuing to play.

4. Support Clubs in Duty of Care –

Equip clubs with a wellbeing initiative that complements their focus on physical and mental development, showing commitment to girls’ holistic health.

5. Strengthen Community Connections –

Involve parents, caregivers, and coaches in the process, creating a stronger, more inclusive support network around young female athletes.
