About Junior Meets

How Girls in Motion supports women and girls in squash

Girls in Motion helps women and girls start, stay and thrive in squash. Our work focuses on four key areas that support participation, confidence, competition and leadership — making squash more welcoming, accessible and inclusive for women at every stage.

Participation – a space to play. Girls with squash rackets lined up facing a female coach.

Retention – a reason to play. Four women on a squash court, one coaching the others.

Competition – a space to grow. Two female squash players in a competitive match.

Leadership – building communities. An older woman mentoring a young female coach.

What else do Girls In Motion get up to?

We believe delivering change and impact in the female squash community requires a multifaceted approach. To reflect this our charitable activities have been developed as the Four Pillars of Girls In Motion. These are:

Increase real opportunities for female Participation in squash and support clubs to increase and retain their female Membership base.
Host significant female squash Events and Junior Girls Meets, and use our platform to increase the reach and promotion of other organisations’ events.
Support females in the development of their Coaching and Leadership skills and provide opportunities to gain experience in these roles.
Host, support and develop a range of Women’s Competitions that provide more inclusive access to competitive squash, and work with existing women’s leagues to increase participation.
