SCOUT (Sport Clubs Opening Up To all girls’ participation) focuses on institutionalized sports practices, or otherwise known as organised sports, which take place via federations and sports clubs. The focus on organised sport was chosen because clubs tend to be considered as the prime setting for sport, especially for children and adolescents. The evidence to date indicates that participation in institutionalized sports can play an important part in the development of a child, or adolescent, in dif- ferent aspects: social, motorical, emotional, behavioural and psychological. Sports practice is located at the epicentre of extracurricular activities that children do today and that occupies them more time outside of family environments (excluding school)
