There is growing concern that girls are not participating in sport and physical activity as much as, or for as long as, boys––and more importantly, that they are missing an important opportunity to build the foundation to be active for life. To help address this gender gap issue, Sport for Life is leading a BC Initiative which focuses on training community coaches and mentors on the specific needs and interests of girls ages 8 to 12 in order to better engage them in sport and physical activity.
The Kamloops Youth Soccer Association is proud to be hosting Dr. Vicky Harber for two workshops delivered over two days to leaders who are, or plan to be, working with/coaching girls in and around this age range.
Details on the workshop are:
What: Gender Differences when working with girls (BC Gender Gap Project)
When: Friday, May 25th (6:30pm to 9:00pm) & Saturday, May 26th (9:00am to 11:30am)
Where: Valleyview Community Hall (2288 Park Drive, Kamloops – next to Marion Schilling Elementary School)
Who: Any coach, mentor, leader working with girls ages 8-12.
Cost: This is a FREE workshop funded by the Province of BC and the Government of Canada
