Cowley College celebrates National Girls and Women in Sports Day

Cowley College is proud to celebrate the National Girls and Women in Sports Day on Wednesday, February 5. The event is an annual day of observance held during the first week of February to acknowledge the accomplishments of female athletes, recognize the influence of sports participation for women and girls, and honor the progress and advocation for equality for women in sports.

Cowley College has nine female sports teams, including the 2024 national champion volleyball and tennis teams. Today's celebration inspires girls and women to play and be active, to realize their full power. The confidence, strength, and character gained through sports participation are the tools girls and women need to become strong leaders in sports and life. 

The event began in 1987 as a way to recognize women's sports.
