Participation
What helps women start playing and access suitable opportunities.
Why your response matters
Help shape practical action on equality, inclusion and opportunity.
Responses will help Eights and Arrows understand why women and girls start playing, what helps them continue, what prevents participation and progression, what competition opportunities they want and what practical programmes should be tested.
Findings will be anonymised and used to shape pilot programmes, partnerships, funding applications, the Eights and Arrows Live Impact Dashboard and the annual State of Women and Girls in Cue Sports report.
Retention
What helps women continue and what causes them to take a break or leave.
Progression
What support, competition and development opportunities women want.
