England Hockey, the England and Wales Cricket Board and England Netball have launched a project called 'Team Up' to boost respective home Women's World Cups.
The project is designed to build a bigger fan base ahead of the 2017 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, 2018 Women's Hockey World Cup and the 2019 Netball World Cup, all of which will be held in England.
All three national governing bodies are looking to have packed stadiums for their events and also maximise the legacy the competitions leave behind.
The initiative was launched at a special event at the finals day of the Hockey Champions Trophy.
A statement from England Hockey read: "This a significant date as it is exactly one year to go until the start of the ICC Women's World Cup in 2017 and we are really looking forward to what we can collectively achieve for women's sport.
"It is vital that we use the World Cups to develop a participation legacy for our sports and we recognise that schools play a large part in the development of a sporting habit for girls.
"Since London 2012, hockey participation has grown hugely, and today's announcement is another milestone for the sport.
"As part of this Team Up project we want to support schools to deliver our sports to ensure all girls get the opportunity to take part and love playing a team sport.
"To do this we are currently developing an affinity scheme in which we want schools to sign up to be a 'Team Up School' and through this scheme we will provide support in the form of resources, training, as well as a number of other ways in which they can build up affinity points towards 'golden ticket' opportunities such as being ball girls for a World Cup Final."
