Girls Sports Uniforms: A Call for Change - Teenage girls in Australia are dropping out of sports due to discomfort in uniforms, with only 23% playing organized sports. Recent updates, like Netball Australia allowing shorts and long pants, and AFLW dropping white shorts, are steps in the right direction. Girls express concerns about low-cut tops, shorts that ride up, and lack of practical features. Studies show body image and fit drive dropouts. A UK schools collaboration with a sports brand to redesign uniforms offers a solution, featuring no-ride shorts, adjustable waists, and practical features. Speaking up about uniform design could keep more girls in sports long-term.
