A New Way to Support Women and Girls in Sport

PLAG Pro is a year-round membership designed to give women in sport consistent access to trusted experts.

Supporting the People Who Make Sport Thrive

Across Australia, sporting clubs and community organisations are doing their very best to support the people who make sport thrive. Players, coaches, volunteers and leaders give enormous amounts of time, energy and care to their communities. Yet one challenge comes up again and again. Access to support.

Most clubs understand how valuable expert support can be across areas like wellbeing, confidence, leadership, coaching, inclusion and performance. But consistent access is often out of reach. The cost is high. Budgets are tight. And asking volunteers to carry even more responsibility is not sustainable.

Listening to What Sport Actually Needs

At Play Like a Girl Australia, we’ve spent years listening to women and girls in sport, and to the clubs and councils working hard to support them. The message has been clear. People want guidance, reassurance and trusted support they can turn to throughout the year. They want support that fits around real sporting lives, not another one-off session or short-term fix.

Why PLAG Pro Exists

That’s why we created PLAG Pro.

PLAG Pro is a year-round support membership designed to give women and girls in sport ongoing access to trusted experts, practical learning and a supportive national community. It’s not elite-only. It’s not full-time. And it’s designed to strengthen the support systems that already exist within clubs and communities.

What Support Looks Like in Practice

Through PLAG Pro, clubs and councils can offer their people consistent, meaningful support across the areas that matter most. Members gain access to monthly, expert-led masterclasses focused on leadership, confidence, wellbeing, coaching, performance, inclusion, First Nations learning, Pride and more.

Each session is delivered live, recorded for on-demand access, and designed to be practical, relatable and immediately useful.

Reducing Pressure on Clubs and Volunteers

This model removes pressure from clubs. There’s no need to fund individual workshops, speakers or short-term programs. For a small monthly investment, members receive year-round access to high-quality support and education that most clubs simply cannot provide on their own.

Support Through Connection and Community

Every session also includes time for conversation and connection. Because support doesn’t only come from experts. It comes from shared experience, understanding and knowing you’re not navigating challenges alone.

Designed to Be Accessible

PLAG Pro is intentionally priced to reduce cost as a barrier. At $10 per month or $110 per year, it prioritises accessibility while maintaining the quality, care and professionalism our community expects.

As part of this commitment, $1 from every membership is set aside to fund an annual grant, chosen by the PLAG Members Community. This ensures the membership supports not only those who join, but also helps create opportunities for others.

Why Support Matters

When women and girls feel supported, heard and connected, they are more likely to stay in sport, grow as leaders and contribute meaningfully to their communities. And when they are supported, everyone benefits.
