LAKEWOOD, N.J. (Feb. 1, 2023) - Georgian Court Athletics will celebrate the 37th Annual National Girls & Women in Sports Day (NGWSD). This 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 very tools girls and women need to become strong leaders in sports and life. WSF is coming out of 2022, emboldened by a year-long celebration of Title IX's Anniversary. This year's event will serve as the kickoff for the next 50 as we build on the landmark law so future generations understand their rights to equal access and opportunity. 

Georgian Court will celebrate the day this Saturday, Feb. 4. The GCU Women's Basketball team will hold a clinic prior to their game at 10:00 a.m in the Wellness Center Arena. The Lions will tip off off at 12 p.m. as part of a doubleheader with Dominican. The clinic is open to children in grades 2nd-8th. To register please contact Lions Head Coach Jasmina Perazic at jperazic@georgian.edu.

At halftime of the women's game, the Shore Aces Girls Youth team will take the floor for a brief scrimmage.
