Research conducted by This Girl Can and Studio You (2024) has shown that too many girls disengage from sports in their teenage years and are often left feeling that PE, sport, or being physically active is not for them. Over the past three years, the Leadership Skills Foundation has worked with more than 300 secondary schools across England to find ways to address this issue via a girls-only sports leadership programme called Your Time.
