BRIDGEPORT, Pa. — The Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA), Mid-Atlantic Water Polo Conference (MAWPC) and Northeast Water Polo Conference (NWPC) recognize all of the organizations’ past, present and future female athletes and coaches on National Girls & Women in Sports Day (NGWSD).
National Girls & Women in Sports Day is a date to inspire girls and women to play and be active, to realize their full power. The confidence, strength and character gained through sports participation are among the tools girls and women need to become strong leaders in sports and life.
On February 3, 1987, President Ronald Reagan signed Proclamation 5606 declaring February 4, 1987, as National Women in Sports Day. Since then, the day of observance has evolved to recognize all women athletes, their past and current sports achievements, in addition to the positive influence of sports participation for women, girls and society.
