Studies have found that girls are twice as likely to call it quits on sports by the age of 14 than boys are.
It's also been shown that dropping sports altogether can not only have a big impact on health, but also well being, school life and even career trajectories in some cases.
That's why CoachMate and Team Heroine have put together a How to Guide titled "Keeping Girls in the Game".
It offers practical tips for coaches, sports bodies, parents and supporters to help keep girls and young women participating and enjoying the benefits sports offer.
