Community clubs and associations have the greatest influence in the recruitment and retention of women and girls into coaching roles, as well as providing a supportive club culture

Key factors that improve club culture to be supportive of women coaches

• Governance - Ensure women and girls are represented in the governance networks that oversee community sport coaching. Example: coach selection committees.
• Parental attitudes - Improving supportive attitudes of parents towards having women and girls in coaching roles. This includes a focus on reducing men wanting to provide unwarranted advice about how women should coach. Example: showcase supportive behaviours towards women and girls.
• Men as allies - Enabling men to be allies in supporting women and girls in coaching roles, which is seen as central to changing the culture and attitudes towards women as coaches within clubs. Example: men speaking up to advocate for equal participation
