Women of Sport | Creating Tomorrow, Together |
SportWest, together with the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, invites you to join us for our upcoming Women of Sport Workshop, Creating Tomorrow, Together!
Presented by Kasey Miles from Tomorrow Woman, this workshop will challenge unrealistic expectations placed on women, empowering them to take up space, use their voice, and live unapologetically.
We want women working and volunteering in sport to feel powerful – inside and out.
The Tomorrow Woman workshop will disrupt outdated stereotypes of women and help you develop your most powerful voice in life and sports. You will be invited to speak up and have daring conversations.
Whatever your age or background, here’s your invitation to take off all the hats you wear and participate in signature exercises, while gaining deeper connections and reflections along the way.

We love playing sport of all shapes and sizes! Playing sport, whether it be a part of a team or an individual sport brings us a sense of belonging, achievement and connection to our community.
All players are responsible for knowing their club values and contributing to a positive club culture for themselves and their fellow players and supporters. Doing your bit to improve the club culture will guarantee future wins on and off the field.
