Inspiro welcomes all girls and non-binary teens aged 12 – 15 years and living in the Yarra Ranges, to come and enjoy some fun, free activities in Lilydale during the September holidays.
Dance, Spike, Roll, Juggle or Paddle your way through the school holidays with a range of activities focused on fun and connection, not competition. Teens can choose from:
- Dance Lessons
- Beach Volleyball
- Circus and Outdoor Activities
- Kayaking
- Indoor Skating
We know that teen girls dramatically discontinue participation in sport and physical activity in comparison to boys. There are a number of reasons for this decline, including lack of opportunity, lack of club capacity/coaching to support girls’ sport and greater importance on boys’ sport, greater interest in social rather than competitive activity, influence of friends, lack of confidence or fear of judgement and issues around body image.
The delivery of a series of pop-up events will offer an opportunity for girls to try out a new activity and have fun with their friends. It is also hoped that the series may help to encourage less-active girls to engage in physical activity and increase active recreation in local green spaces.
