Historically, women and girls have not been afforded the same opportunity as boys and men to be involved in sport, and the culture of sport has traditionally been very masculine" Students will complete an individual report that will explore the issues and challenges of women and girls participating in traditionally male-dominated sports. Sports organizations are contemporary workplaces with a focus on many different areas. The way a sports organization operates in a gendered workplace environment has become a contemporary field of study. Students will be required to research widely and select real-life examples. The below website can be used as a starting point for your research.

You should refer to at least (2) two theories to support your discussion and the use of at least 4 (four) academic references. While many of your references will rely on the organization's/team's publicity website, you cannot use this as your only source of information. You may include graphs, charts, and pictures, which do not contribute to your overall word limit.
