FOUNDER & CHAIRPERSON

I have a passion for encouraging brown women to engage in sports. Fitness has always been a vital part in my life. I thank my father for pushing me to stay active and compete at a State level in swimming. But, I realise not every brown woman is actively encouraged to participate in sports. I hope this Club can be a support system for South Asian women who want to be active and play sports.

I am an internationally qualified swimming coach, I am currently doing a PhD at the University of Sydney in Sport Analytics, and I am a Unit Coordinator and Lecturer at the University of Sydney.

DEPUTY-CHAIR & TREASURER

My passion is to help brown women of all ages, shapes, and fitness levels to get up and moving. I want to help them find enjoyment out of fitness and what works for them.

I am dedicated to motivating brown women to try new things when it comes to fitness. My enjoyment came about when I began to jump rope, and it also inspired many others to pick up a rope and try!

I used to work a 9-5 job in marketing, and now run my own marketing agency, so I understand how finding time for yourself during a hectic day-to-day life can be hard. This is what Kaur Sports is all about — giving brown women with busy lives a space to get into sport and fitness without a fear of judgement.

SECRETARY

I am dedicated to creating inclusive spaces for brown women. From a young age I played netball, but always felt like the odd one out. I rarely saw girls who looked like me in my sport club and professional teams. In my senior years of high school, I made the tough decision to temporarily step back from netball to excel academically, a choice I wish I didn’t have to make. I believe both sport and academics can be simultaneously pursued.

It wasn’t until I had the opportunity to captain and play in the Sikh Games netball team that I truly felt a sense of belonging in a sport I love. Today, I am not only studying a Bachelor of Physiotherapy, but I also continue to lead the netball team, fostering lasting friendships with inspiring brown girls. My goal is to create similar empowering opportunities for other young Punjabi girls who may share my experiences. I want to promote physical and mental wellbeing through sport and exercise. I hope this Club provides other girls the support when facing similar choices around balancing sport and academic pursuits.
