In an attempt to integrate fitness into the lives of local youths, Muhlenberg College will support National Women and Girls in Sports Day.
On Monday, February 27 at 4 p.m., many middle and high school girls from the 6th Street Shelter, Caring Place, Community BikeWorks, Casa Guadalupe and a few “unmatched” littles from Big Brothers/Big Sisters will come to the College’s Life Sports Center, to participate in various sport-specific clinics hosted by Muhlenberg athletes and coaches. Following the activities they will enjoy yogurt "sundaes" in the Red Door, located in the lower level of Seegers Student Union.
Established in 1986, National Women and Girls in Sports Day is an annual event rejoicing and honoring the athletic accomplishments of females. Recognized in all 50 states, this year’s theme, “More Than A Game,” acknowledges the significance of women’s participation in sports and the benefits that are a result of sports and physical activity.
