An educational workshop on sport and performance in puberty- aiming to help girls stay in sport.
The workshop on sport and performance in puberty is aimed at improving body awareness, performance and enjoyment in sport for girls in the adolescent years. Designed for sporting clubs and schools to empower girls to help them stay and play in sport.
Game Bloom was created with the mission to help support girls in sport. Nationally, girls are less active, play less club sport and have a high drop out rate from sport. We believe that empowerment comes from knowledge. Our goal is to provide education on physical activity and sport performance as an adolescent girl with the mission to help girls stay and play their sport.
Educational sessions and workshops have been designed for girls and assigned females at birth. The session includes education on the short/long term benefits of physical activity, how to reduce injury risk and improve sporting performance, best ways to manage injuries, changes during puberty, and female health topics - what to expect (and not to expect!).
The session is interactive, and coaches and teachers are encouraged to join in on the session so we can be part of the common goal.
We also understand the involvement of parents and coaches and their vital role in the health and wellbeing of girls. A separate education session for parents and coaches is available for those interested in learning more in this space.
Further education for women beyond the adolescent years on sporting performance and female health topics is available.
