This book engages with the ongoing question of why many girls stop
doing sport and physical activity in their teenage years. Previous
research has found that many girls' disengagement from sport takes
place despite their childhood enjoyment and that frequently these
same women take up sport again as adults. Within these chapters,
Sheryl Clark explores what it is about this period of time that
persuades many girls to disengage from sports when their male peers
continue to take part; why some girls continue to take part; and
most importantly how girls understand this participation. She
suggests that girls' participation in sport should be viewed as
part of their ongoing constructions of 'successful girlhood' within
a competitive schooling system and broader socioeconomic context.
