National Girls & Women in Sports Day
National Girls & Women in Sports Day (Feb. 2) is a day focused on celebrating the power of women in sports… but we thought just one day wasn’t enough, so we’re celebrating all month long! Participation in sports can shape a young female athlete’s future—from life lessons to important skills like teamwork, determination and consistency.
Be proud to “play like a girl” today and everyday!
