It is National Girls and Women in Sports Day – this day is all about girls and women athletes and day dedicated to celebrate, inspire and promote them – both past and present.
GLAMoms has a couple girls who participate in a variety of athletics and we love to watch them play and we know the lessons learned on courts, arenas, and fields help pave the way for life, leading them to greatness – wherever life takes them.
And today we celebrate, inspire and promote all female athletes – both past and present!
Below you will find numerous female athletes and business owners featured on greaterlansingareamoms.com

In honor of National Girls and Women in Sports Day:
Send us a message and share one example of how sports have helped in your adult life? Didn’t play sports, that’s okay too! While athletics are important to many, please share about a club or group you were part of that helped with team building today!
Whew, that sounds a bit like homework. Not homework, just interested in what you would like to share! Email us at [email protected]
