In today's episode, hosts Sam Elliott and Ben Hook are joined returning guest James Kay, from Flinders University. James Kay discusses and shares insights surrounding young girls’ disengagement and dropout from organised sport, and provides strategies for re-engaging these girls and women.

Whether you’re a coach, parent, or club volunteer, this episode will offer practical ways to help girls rediscover the joy of playing and staying in sport!
