GRID - strategy, skill and diversity in sport

The Florida GRID League is extremely diverse, so much so that men and women, boys and girls, play on the same team. Many of its athletes identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community so, as you’ll see, it’s a very welcoming sports community.

This sport is Florida based but growing in popularity and reach with athletes joining the league from all over the US and other parts of the globe. The format sounds fantastic and really exciting - a way to take your training to a new level .

Celebrating neurodiversity with Sarah Hope

Recently it was neurodiversity celebration week, and we couldn’t let it go by without celebrating neurodiverse athletes. Our aim is for any and every girl to be able to find a sporting role model – we really believe in ‘If you can’t see it, you can’t be it.’
