Girls in Action Sports Project (GASP)
GASP was designed to better understand the enablers and barriers to girls engaging in male dominated action sports (mountain biking, skateboarding and surfing) with a view to providing more opportunities for girls to be physically active. Capturing perspectives of young people, parents and adult stakeholders (e.g. board/committee members, CEOs, coaches, officials), along with a policy review and collation of membership data, GASP has provided novel and rich information to help more girls get involved in these and possibly other sports.
