At Everyday Play, we believe that every child should feel confident, motivated, and excited to move – and that includes encouraging girls into sport through inclusive, inspiring outdoor spaces.
In recent years, research has shown that girls, particularly in primary and early secondary years, often disengage from traditional sports. Many girls report feeling self-conscious, unmotivated by competition, or simply uninspired by the usual PE offerings. But with the right environment and equipment, schools can change that, and that’s where we come in.
Creating Collaborative, Non-Competitive Spaces
One of the most effective ways of encouraging girls into sport is by offering opportunities for physical activity that aren’t focused solely on winning. Our wooden playground equipment is designed to promote collaboration, imagination, and movement without the pressure of traditional team sports.
From balance beams to rope bridges and climbing frames, our products are ideal for group play and shared challenges. These open-ended designs help girls develop physical skills while working together and having fun—without the stress of a scoreboard.
Supporting Creative Movement and Expression
Not all physical activity needs to look like a match or a race. Girls are often more engaged in environments that allow for expression, creativity, and rhythm. That’s why we help schools install unique features such as:
Reflective mirror walls for performance and self-expression
Music-integrated play zones that combine movement with sound
These spaces are perfect for encouraging girls to explore choreography, group routines, and solo performances in a setting that feels inclusive and imaginative.
Promoting Personal Fitness and Mindfulness
Confidence grows when girls feel in control of their own progress. That’s why our range of fitness-focused equipment is designed to support personal goals. We offer:
Trim trails for self-paced physical development
Outdoor gym equipment for building strength and stamina
Yoga decks and mindfulness areas for calm, focus, and wellbeing
These features empower girls to set and achieve their own fitness goals while developing positive relationships with movement and their own bodies.
Bringing Movement to Life with Playground Markings
We also support encouraging girls into sport, and of course boys too, through vibrant, engaging playground markings. From hopscotch and agility trails to activity zones and themed circuits, our markings are a simple yet effective way to get children moving every day. They’re ideal for structured lessons or free play and help make physical activity fun, visible, and accessible for all.
If your playground could use a fresh injection of colour, energy, and purpose, get in touch, we can help transform your space with markings that encourage active, inclusive play.
Helping Kent Schools Make a Lasting Impact
As a Kent-based company, we’re proud to work closely with local schools to create playgrounds that truly make a difference. By designing outdoor spaces that engage and empower girls, we help schools build lifelong positive attitudes towards sport and physical activity.
If your school is looking to make changes that matter, let’s talk. Together, we can create a space that’s not only fun and functional, but also instrumental in encouraging girls into sport.
