Do you want to become part of the All Girls movement? Are you great at organising and influencing others to get active and involved? Do you have a passion for basketball? You’re in the right place!
Read on to find out how you can get behind the Basketball England's All Girls campaign by becoming one of our Ambassadors.
All Girls is a Basketball England campaign designed to raise the profile and awareness of women and girls’ basketball at all levels and in all facets of the game. The idea behind it is to break down the barriers women and girls face and create more tailored opportunities to play, coach, officiate and follow our game.
We will be recruiting a number of ambassadors across the country to join the All Girls team and spread the All Girls message!
Whether you are already involved or completely new to the game there is an opportunity for you to get involved.
Do you have an interest in ensuring there are opportunities for women and girls of all ages and abilities to get involved in basketball? Want to shout from the rafters about our awesome GB Women and their Olympic dream? Want to welcome more beginners in your community? Are you keen to develop more female officials or coaches?
These are many ways in which All Girls Ambassadors can make a difference for females in basketball. We’re keen to develop our female workforce and networks, create a platform for the women’s game to be celebrated as standard and develop, implement and deliver a pathway for all women and girls in the game – whether this be on the court, on the sidelines or online.
Anyone and everyone – of any age, any gender and any ability.
The All Girls campaign is for the game and basketball family as a whole, with females at the forefront. This doesn’t mean you have to be a female to become an ambassador or get behind the campaign. Whether you’ve been involved in basketball all your life or you’re new to the game, we want to hear from you.
