Following on from FA/Nike research into Muslim girls attitudes towards PE, the FA/Nike have commissioned Youth Sport Trust to deliver a “Improving PE for Muslim Girls” project. This project will be delivered across Birmingham, London and Manchester next academic year.
Improving PE for Muslim Girls is designed to equip educators and wider workforce to improve their PE, School Sport and Physical Activity provision for Muslim girls. Informed by research and girls’ voices, it will help you to better meet their needs thereby increasing engagement, enjoyment and belonging in PE, School Sport and Physical Activity.
What’s involved
Schools selected to participate in this programme will identify a lead member of staff who will work with us and girls in their school to understand the challenges experienced by girls of Muslim faith that impact their enjoyment and engagement in PE.
They will attend a one-hour online teacher briefing session and a regional conference (w/c 24 Nov or w/c 1 Dec 2025), delivered in partnership by The Youth Sport Trust and The Muslim Sports Foundation, supported by The FA and Nike.
The conference will bring teachers, Muslim girls from their school, and wider workforce together to learn, share, consider and identify actions that will drive positive change for Muslim girls in their school and community.
Following the conference, schools will create an action plan to implement appropriate improvements to provision working collaboratively with Muslim girls to inform action.
What support will successful schools receive from Youth Sport Trust
- Hard copy of a new resource and supporting tools
- Regional conference with inspirational speakers, professional learning for teachers and Empowerment workshops for Muslim Girls
- Online and email support
- Collateral from partners including sports hijabs from Nike and TBC from The FA
