Sharp Decline in Women in Team Sports, with Most Quitting by Age 21
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 1 – AXA UK's research shows busy schedules, family duties, and health issues cause most women to quit team sports by 21, with only 7% still participating in the UK.
- Recent research commissioned by AXA UK shows that just seven percent of women in the UK are involved in team sports, and the majority tend to stop playing by the age of 21.
- The decline is largely due to factors such as demanding daily routines, professional obligations, caregiving duties, pregnancy, and health issues including menopause.
- The 'Keep on Kicking' campaign, celebrating AXA's sponsorship of UEFA Women's Euro 2025 and support for Women’s Walking Football, aims to highlight these challenges and promote re-engagement.
- Tash, a former professional footballer and current Liverpool FC ambassador, emphasized that initiatives like Women’s Walking Football offer women a valuable chance to maintain their health and experience the benefits of team spirit.
- The findings suggest increasing access to team sports at all ages could improve women's physical and mental wellbeing and combat the sharp drop-off in participation after early adulthood.
