ATLANTA – Oglethorpe University and the Student Athlete Advisory Committee will celebrate the 2024 National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD) on Sunday, Feb. 11, with a basketball game, lacrosse game, and several clinics. 

The day will begin at 11:30 a.m. with clinic options presented by each sport available at Oglethorpe. Volleyball, soccer, basketball, tennis and lacrosse each offer their own sessions, but those looking to explore multiple sports may choose an all-encompassing session. The latter will also include track & field and golf. Then, participants are encouraged to attend either the women's basketball game or lacrosse game, which both start at 1 p.m. on campus.

The Women's Sports Foundation was established in 1974 to advance the lives of women and girls through sports and physical activity. Their mission is to enable all girls and women to reach their potential in sports and life. National Girls and Women in Sports Day began in 1987 as a special day in the United States capital to recognize women's sports. The day united premiere organizations and elite women athletes to bring national attention to the promise of girls and women in sports.
