Play Like a Girl Australia and Classic Sportswear Join Forces to Empower Women in Sport

Play Like a Girl Australia is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with Classic Sportswear, uniting their missions to empower women and girls through innovative, female-first sportswear and impactful initiatives.

This collaboration marks a significant step toward promoting equality, confidence, and leadership for women in sport.

At the core of this partnership is the launch of a women’s Classic Core Collection, designed specifically for women and girls by women in sport. This thoughtfully crafted range set to launch in the coming weeks blends functionality, comfort, and style, catering to the unique needs of female athletes.

Whether training, competing, or enjoying everyday wear, this collection empowers women to perform at their best while looking and feeling confident.

Holly Bailey, Founder of Play Like a Girl, shared her enthusiasm:

"Our collaboration with Classic Sportswear is a game-changer for female athletes, we’re creating a range that is not only stylish but also meets the needs of women in sport, helping them to perform their best and feel confident in every setting."

To celebrate the partnership, tomorrow in Melbourne Play Like a Girl members will be treated to a football skills and drills session, with Matildas Alumni led by Classic Brand Ambassador Tracie McGovern.

During the event, participants will put the new Classic Core Collection to the test, with highlights to be shared across social media.

Beyond Apparel: Supporting Women in Sport

This partnership extends beyond apparel innovation. Classic Sportswear is now the official sponsor of the Play Like a Girl Podcast, which features inspiring stories from elite female athletes.

With Classic’s support, the podcast will reach a broader audience, amplifying stories of triumph, resilience, and leadership to inspire the next generation.

Further demonstrating its commitment to women in sport, Classic Sportswear is introducing fully funded scholarships for female athletes.

These scholarships aim to eliminate financial barriers, empowering emerging leaders to pursue their passions and achieve their potential in both sport and leadership.

Ross Smart, CEO of Classic Sportswear, commented:

“This partnership goes beyond creating high-performance apparel. It’s about supporting women at every stage of their journey — whether through financial support, storytelling, or gear that truly meets their needs.”

This partnership aligns closely with Play Like a Girl Australia’s vision of empowering women and girls to lead in all areas of their lives.

Together, these organisations are paving the way for initiatives that challenge stereotypes, break barriers, and inspire future generations to achieve their full potential.
