Hi
I didn't know how else to contact you other than through Britdisc. I have
come across an article concerning getting girls into sport.
This is an excerpt:
Girls do not share boys' enthusiasm for sport and most stop taking part as
soon as they can, a new report shows.
Based on new research which shows that nearly 40% of girls do not want to
play sport, the Girls in Sport Partnership, a joint initiative by Nike UK
and the Youth Sport Trust, aims to stop them dropping out of sport by
changing the way sport and physical education are organised at school.
The partnership is working with 52 schools across the country to test
radical
new ways of providing physcial education and sport for girls. One way in
which it is hoping to do this is by bringing local sports clubs to the
school to let girls try different sports and by establishing school sports
councils to give girls more input into the physical education programme.

Cheers
Simon
