Why movement?

Girls To The Front intentionally frames physical activity as a form of resistance to social norms that limit a girl's confidence and presence. By taking part in functional fitness, girls experience their bodies as strong, capable, and worthy of space. This acts as a direct counter to a world that often encourages them to shrink or stay quiet.

Play-Based & Self-Directed

Traditional sports often rely on rigid, adult-led structures that can feel exclusionary. Our approach prioritises:

 

• Co-Production: Every session is built on a "skeleton plan" that participants can adapt and amend to suit their own wants and needs.

• No Fear of Judgement: By reframing fitness as play and expression, we reduce the barriers linked to performance pressure and the fear of getting things wrong.

​

The confidence built through movement doesn't stay in the session. It creates ripple effects that impact every area of a girl's life:

​

• Reclaiming physical autonomy supports a stronger sense of self and overall mental health.

• Learning that their voices and bodies have power encourages girls to speak up and lead in their schools and communities.

• Empowering girls to move from being passive recipients of culture to active contributors who feel they belong in any spaces!
