The Minns Labor Government today announced its plan for the next wave in women\u2019s sport with the release of its new women\u2019s sport strategy \u2013 Play Her Way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Play Her Way is a four-year plan that aims to get more NSW women and girls playing, and staying involved in, sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The strategy builds on the groundswell of support for women’s sport, which has seen a massive increase in participation and viewership at both grassroots and professional levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Play Her Way will support the next wave of young females on their journey to the top of sport as well as ensure more women and girls can participate in fun, safe and inclusive sporting environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key themes of the strategy include participation, leadership, culture, partnerships and investment with a particular focus on addressing the low rates of participation among adolescent girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To achieve this, the NSW Government will partner with the sports sector to break down barriers preventing adolescent girls participating in sport and identify new opportunities to increase participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The strategy was launched at URBNSRF Sydney Olympic Park where a group of the next generation of female athletes caught a wave together to symbolise the next wave in women\u2019s sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
