What is Her Moves?
Her Moves is designed to inspire and support more teenage girls to be active. It’s about empowering all young women, building confidence and providing motivation to find something that moves you.
It is important for parents to help teens find the best activities that suit their interests and provide the resources and access to safe and reliable sports programs. Parents should also be actively involved in their daughters’ sporting activities, boisterously cheering them on from the sidelines. With so many life pressures faced by teenage girls, it’s more important than ever for parents to invest in their daughters’ interest in sport and physical activity, as it will provide them with physical and mental benefits that can extend far into adulthood.
