UNCW Athletics to hold Girls and Womens in Sport Day Clinic

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — UNCW Athletics will hold a special sports day for young women on Friday, January 31st.

The department will hold a National Girls and Women’s in Sports Day clinic.

It will be held from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in Hanover Hall before the women’s basketball game against Hofstra.

As part of the clinic, girls in 6th grade or younger will be able to play various sports.

Women’s basketball head coach Nicole Woods said this event means a lot to her.

“There’s different opportunities for you based off of what you like and so, for us to be able to facilitate that and its very much a full circle moment for me because I was that kid that used to go to the camps and clinics at the local school and be able to make sure and facilitate that here at UNCW, its a great moment for me,” Woods said.

The department will also hold a Play4Kay ceremony, honoring survivors and those women affected by cancer before the women’s basketball game on Sunday.
