Coaches and officials shape experience participants have in sport — your influence can be the reason someone falls in love with sport, develops confidence and returns week after week. That's why we're inviting you to a free workshop designed to support coaches and officials working with women and girls in sport.

You’ll engage in practical activities, discussion groups and collaborative learning tailored to the needs of participants in the room. The focus is on creating real-world solutions you can apply in your sport – no matter the size of your club or organisations. And while the focus is on women and girls, the workshops are open to coaches and officials of all gender.
