Quotes attributable to Kylie Taylor, CE, Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing
Sport holds a powerful opportunity to reshape attitudes where women are recognised and celebrated as elite, professional athletes, coaches, administrators and leaders at every level.
We want to see packed stands and create moments where every young girl or boy can watch their sporting heroes in action or discover a new inspirational hero.
Join us in making this vision a reality! Buy a ticket, show up and cheer on our South Australian women’s teams!
Quotes attributable to Keren Faulkner, South Australian Sports Institute Director
Just like the Adelaide Lightning’s electrifying sellout season opener, where South Australians turned up in force, we want that same energy for every South Australian women’s team match!
Let’s pack the stands, cheer loud and celebrate these phenomenal athletes. Come along and show your support for women in sport.
