TWO GREAT MATES SHARING FUN, HONEST AND REFRESHING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT SPORT
We want to help you find joy in sport. We want you and your loved ones to know the exhilaration of moving your body physically and challenging your mind - without fear of judgement or elitism.
We’re on a mission to help more Aussies - especially women and teen girls - feel curious about sport. To see being active as an opportunity to grow your self-confidence, feel strong and healthy, and connect with your community.
That’s why we’re 100% against gatekeeping sport and the (honestly kinda weird) cliquey status quo. We don’t believe in division or elitism - just good fun and personal growth.
We’re here to lift you up with our playful banter, our inspirational stories, and our confidence in you.
Because at the end of the day, we want you to feel proud of being sportish and enjoy sport the way it’s meant to be, pressure-free.
