A young schoolgirl is reaching out to UK Prime Minister Theresa May to ask for her help in making sports and physical education a place for both boys and girls.

 

Seven-year-old Nya Ella was left disheartened after she felt unwelcome at a football practice.

 

 

In a five minute video, Nya tells her story saying:

 

“I was very excited to play football, but the only way I could do it was an after-school club that cost extra pennies.

 

“When I went I was the only girl and I was not made very welcome.

 

“I liked the football, but the coach was not very good accepting a girl with the boys. I didn’t go back as I felt sad.”

 

 

Nya’s mum Kate said she was surprised when her daughter spoke so eloquently about the issue even though it would be a regular conversation in their home.

 

“Her words were so powerful, I asked her to write them down.”

 

And we're glad she did.
