Join us in celebrating National Girls and Women in Sports Day at The College of Wooster when the women's basketball team takes on Oberlin College on Wednesday, Feb. 4 at 6 p.m.

An all-sports clinic for all youth boys and girls will be held in the College's upstairs gymnasium across hall from spectator entrance to Timken Gymnasium from 5:15-6 p.m. Most varsity female sports, plus several club sports, will have stations set up to try introductory skills for their sport.

Those participating in the clinic and their families get free admission to the basketball game and clinic participants will receive a card for free popcorn at the concession stand. Archie will be available for photo opportunities during the clinic.

At halftime of the women's basketball game, fifth grade teams from Smithville and Hillsdale will scrimmage, then all youth and adult current or former female athletes are invited to the upper bleachers on the side of the gymnasium opposite the team benches for a group photo.

Parents should note the group photo and clinic photos will be shared on College-sponsored team and athletics department social media accounts. Allowing your child to participate in the clinic and the photo constitutes your consent for your child to potentially be featured on College-sponsored social media accounts.

Other events for National Girls and Women in Sports Day include female student-athletes stopping in several elementary classrooms across the community to read stories and associate professor emerita Brenda Meese will give a presentation titled "A Legacy of Women's Sport at The College of Wooster" on Wednesday, Feb. 4 at noon in the Alley, located on the lower level of Lowry Center. Meese's presentation is free and open to members of the community. All College of Wooster students who attend the women's basketball game will have a chance to enter a raffle for women's sports merchandise.
