Rounders in Leeds Teams up with Leeds Girl Can

The summer season is hotting up and we’re not even half way through May! We caught up with Stephen Locking from ‘Rounders in Leeds’ and ‘Leeds Girl Can’ to find out more about their exciting partnership and how they are planning under 16s and over 16s Pudsey (Leeds) sessions.

This Girl Can is a celebration of active women who are doing their thing no matter how well they do it, how they look or even how red their face gets. This Girl Can is helping women overcome the fear of judgement that is stopping too many women and girls from joining in. – thisgirlcan.co.uk
