Why Girls Drop Out of Sport – And How We Can Change It

Sport isn’t just about trophies. It’s about confidence, belonging, and joy. Yet so many girls drop out of sport by their teenage years. Why? And what can we do to change that story for the next generation?

  • Girls often feel judged more on how they look than what they do.
  • Many say they don’t feel “sporty enough.”
  • SEND children and “non-sporty” kids often feel left behind in the same way.
  • But sport is for everyone – and the rise of women’s football, rugby, and other sports is showing us that all bodies can achieve incredible things.

At Roarsome Sport:

  • We celebrate effort, not results.
  • We focus on fun and skill-building, not competition.
  • We welcome every child – whether confident, shy, or somewhere in between.

If you want your child to grow up loving movement, not fearing PE lessons, come and try a 3-week Roarsome Sport trial. Let’s give them the confidence to say, “Yes, sport is for me.”
