With the increasing international popularity of Women’s Hockey, Soccer and Basketball it’s time local Recreation Departments help give girls a good grounding.
That’s what Arnprior Recreation thinks, and Staff is excited to announce that the Town’s new “Girls in Sport Program” launches July 2nd.
The initiative is funded by Canadian Tire Jumpstart.
The girls-only, multi-sport program offers a safe, inclusive space where female athletes can thrive.
Those who take part get to try a new sport each week including basketball, yoga, martial arts, rugby, dance, and a field trip to a Rapids FC Soccer Game.
Girls in Sport will be guided by passionate coaches who make it fun, build confidence, and encourage friendships while developing skills.
Girls in Sport’s motto is, “Every girl belongs here!”
The program is open to ages 4-13, and is Free to Youth Club members.
Girls in Sport is also accepting volunteer coaches for ages 14+ as part of the LeadHERship program.
