NATIONAL GIRLS AND WOMEN IN SPORTS DAY
CLINIC
The
Girls in Sports clinic is a great way for
young girls to see positive role models in diverse areas of athletics.
It has been proven that girls who are involved in sports have a higher
self esteem, do better in school and have a decreased risk of being
involved with drugs, alcohol and teen pregnancy.
