I have come across an article concerning getting girls into sport. This is an excerpt: Girls do not share boys' enthusiasm for sport and most stop taking part as soon as they can, a new report shows. Based on new research which shows that nearly 40% of girls do not want to play sport, the Girls in Sport Partnership, a joint initiative by Nike UK and the Youth Sport Trust, aims to stop them dropping out of sport by changing the way sport and physical education are organised at school. The partnership is working with 52 schools across the country to test radical new ways of providing physcial education and sport for girls. One way in which it is hoping to do this is by bringing local sports clubs to the school to let girls try different sports and by establishing school sports councils to give girls more input into the physical education programme. The full article can be found at the ITN website url: (http://www.itn.co.uk/Britain/brit19990317/031703.htm?DTN) Might be a way of promoting Ultimate a little further. Cheers Simon (Sneeeky's)
