The obstacles are specific. The answers have to be specific. ‘Girls are welcome’ is not a programme.

What gets in the way
No kit, or kit that does not fit
Transport after dark
A court where men have taken both hours
No woman in the coaching group, so a parent says no
Teasing when a girl is new and the ball feels foreign
Sessions that clash with chores or madrasa without anyone asking
What the Federation will do
Girls Game Lab
Weekly skill lab, women-led, ages 10–18, at each hub once that hub is open. Boys are not in the room unless they have been invited as passers for a planned drill.
Hours that were asked for
Each hub agrees its girls’ hour with parents once a term. The hour is painted on the notice, and the men’s booking does not eat it.
Home transport
For under-16s, the session ends with a named walk-group or a Federation-arranged ride on roads where walking is the risk. Budget this. Do not ‘hope the brothers come’.
Mothers’ court
Once a month the court is for mothers and aunts, not as comedy, as basketball. A parent who has played will send her daughter.
Female coaches
Target: at least one licensed woman coach in every premier club by 2028, paid at the same session rate as the men.
Into the league
ZNBL Women is the destination. A girl leaving Game Lab at 16 has a club introduction, not a dead end.
