This summer, we teamed up with Vitality to bring the excitement of girls’ school sports to screens everywhere through SOCS TV. From the Girls’ Football Finals on 23 June to the Cricket Finals on 25 June, the energy, skill, and passion of young athletes were truly inspiring.

Watch our latest video to relive the highlights and celebrate the action.

Here’s to more moments that showcase the future of school sport—streamed, celebrated, and shared!

As a business that has been active in the school sports community for over 25 years, we’ve seen first-hand the impact that participation in sport can have on young people — and the importance of keeping girls engaged as they move through school.

That’s why we’re proud to be sponsoring the Back to School Event, taking place on Thursday 28th August, 11am–8pm at the SOOO Store in Regent Street, London. With 50% of girls dropping out of school sports when they reach puberty, initiatives like this are vital. Together with brands including PEBE, NIXIbody, IDA Sports and more, the event is designed to empower the next generation of female athletes.

Drop in anytime between 11am–4pm to enjoy an empowering day of back-to-school kit shopping, designed especially for girls aged 11–16.

Then, join us at 6pm for an inspiring panel discussion with leading voices in sport and wellbeing, including:

Ugo Monye – Ex-Lion, rugby pundit, and dad of two girls
Ellie Boatman – GB Rugby 7s Olympian
Dr Emma Ross – Co-founder of The Well HQ
Dani Mugridge – Director of Sport, LEH School
