National Girls and Women in Sports Celebration

The National Girls & Women in Sports (NGWSD) celebration is an annual series of events that inspire girls and women to play sports, be active, and to realize their full power. The confidence, strength and character gained through sports participation are the very tools girls and women can leverage to become strong leaders in sports and in life.

A vibrant movement we celebrate in February each year, NGWSD honors the achievements of female athletes, coaches and leaders and continues to Lead Her Forward by acknowledging the power of sports to unlock girls' and women's limitless potential.

The Women’s Sports Foundation applauds the vital role played by the individuals and organizations who join  this effort: advocates seeking to protect Title IX and advance gender equity, athletes using their platform to inspire greatness, and coaches working daily to promote play.

Rowan University boasts a strong, cross-campus NGWSD coalition of twelve departments, led by the Women's and Gender Studies council. We invite you to celebrate girls & women in sports and to join the Women’s Sports Foundation as we Lead Her Forward. COMMUNITY MEMBERS OF ALL SEX AND GENDER IDENTITIES ARE WELCOME AT ALL ROWAN NGWSD EVENTS.
