Sophie Thomas Girls Together Role
Model
Sport Cardiff has launched a brand
new campaign across Cardiff to
encourage
women and young females to take
part in more sporting activity.
The Girls Together campaign aims
to provide a programme of
suitable activities across the City
of Cardiff
for females of all ages and
abilities to access.
Sophie Thomas (Yr8) has been
shortlisted from 40 females as
one of the final 12 in
Cardiff to become a role model
and promote the developing campaign.
The campaign will have four key
areas of focus: Play –
participation for fun,
Compete – providing a pathway of
suitable competitions, Coach –
up-‐skilling more females as coaches
of the future, and
Volunteer – directing females to
voluntary opportunities within their
community.
Within these key areas, four
ambassadors will help promote the
opportunities alongside role models,
to engage with
more females in order to increase
physical activity and reduce the
current gender
gap.
Congratulations to the Yr9 ‘A’
Netball Team who are through to
the
County Finals. 4/4 wins for a
very
strong Radyr side.
Good Luck girls!
