A free Women and Girls’ Sport Day will be held Sept. 28 at Legacy Park.
The Lethbridge Sport Council says this event offers a unique opportunity for girls aged seven to 17 and their mothers or female guardians to explore and participate in a variety of sports in a supportive and fun environment.
Led by experienced community sport leaders, participants will get the chance to try sports such as soccer, volleyball, basketball, rugby and a fitness session.
According to the Council, the event is designed to empower women and girls, encouraging them to discover their strengths, build confidence and foster a passion for physical activity.
In a special morning session, mothers and guardians are invited to a learning session on the Council’s initiatives and physical literacy, followed by an opportunity to try one of the featured sports — rugby.
This portion of the event is intended to engage families, promote a shared interest in physical activity and emphasize the role of female guardians in fostering active, healthy lifestyles for their children.
“We’re really excited to host Women and Girls’ Sport Day,” notes Susan Eymann, executive director of the Council. “It’s a great chance for participants to try out different activities. Sport is such a fun and social way for women and girls to build confidence and develop leadership skills.”
Participants will also engage in a Girls’ Empowerment curriculum, which focuses on leadership, teamwork and self-expression through sport.
The event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Lunch will also be provided.
