 #Playlikeagirlmalibu

The City of Malibu Community Services Department launched the #PlayLikeAGirlMalibu campaign and invites individuals in the Malibu community to share their epic girls’ sports moments by incorporating the hashtag into their online posts.

The campaign aims to encourage girls of all ages not only to participate in the City’s wide offerings of youth sports classes, but to also provide a platform for girls’ sports programs to be highlighted in the community. The Department’s goal is to improve the representation of females in positions of leadership in sport and recreation.
