The US Open is one of the big four grand slams on the tennis circuit. As week two of the event kicks off, we thought we would take a look at some of the highlights from the first weeks action.

This Girl Can is a campaign that has allowed girls and women to get more involved in sport and also share their sporting or fitness stories. This week the campaign looked back on it's last 12 months at how far it has come. Through this reflection, a number of stories from women around the country have emerged and we have been facinated to learn about the impact that sport has had on so many girls.
Below is the story of Kate. Kate is deaf and has found sport to be a domain where she can play and compete whilst being herself.
We hope these stories inspire and uplift you as much as they do us.
Enjoy.

One year on from the launch of VicHealth's successful 'This Girl Can' campaign, its clear to see the impact on girls and women around the country. The campaign is no longer simply a campaign but instead a fully fledged movement! Girls are getting involved and are getting active, but there are still some challenges to overcome. The three biggest challenges girls still face are:
1. Appearance
- Fear of not looking the part or dressing the part
2. Ability
- Fear of judgment around their skills
3. Priorities
- Feeling guilty or selfish for doing something for themselves
But with the help of the program and a changing conversation, we believe we can change this and ensure women / girls stay fit, active and engaged in sport for life.
As part of SportAus's push to get more kids healthy, fit and active a wonderful program called Sporting Schools has been running across the country. The Sporting Schools program gives primary school aged children the chance to experience a variety of different sports each school term through their local primary school absolutely FREE!
We are official providers of both the ANZ Tennis Hotshots program and the Golf Australia MyGolf Program. We love being part of an initiative that helps to get more Australian's into sport.
Below is a great example of how the program is helping hockey with the Hook Into Hockey program being run through the Sporting Schools network.
If you are at a school and would like to know more or have our team come in to run ANZ Tennis Hotshots or Mygolf, please get in touch with us today at info@fitforkidsco.com.au

These would have to be some of the luckiest junior basketball kids in Australia would'nt they? These little superstars were recently treated to a basketball clinic from the aussie superstart Matthew Dellavedova (Delly). The kids were put through their paces and even got autographs from MD! Check out the video below.
If you are interested in getting your child involved in basketball or any other of our kids sports, we would love to hear from you. Get in touch at info@fitforkidsco.com.au today!
