We’re so excited to share the footage from our recent panel discussion: Breaking Down the Barriers to Girls’ Sport!

At SOCS, we’re right at the heart of the school sports community — and the data is clear: girls’ sport is growing faster than ever. But we also know there are still challenges. That’s why we sponsored this powerful event at SOOO London, bringing together an amazing panel who shared their personal journeys and research to help girls keep playing confidently — through puberty and into adulthood.

In case you missed it, we’re proud to be sponsoring the Daily Mail Trophy Podcast with Phil and Russ (Little & Large).

The duo bring their unique perspectives to everything school sport, teaching — and whatever else pops into their heads! We’re thrilled that they’re launching a series of episodes specifically focused on the Daily Mail Trophy, following the action and chatting as the season unfolds.

In the latest episode, Phil and Russell are joined by Matthew Gold, Head of Rugby at Abingdon School, who shares his rugby journey and insight into the school’s sports programme — along with the latest updates from the Trophy.
