The Maxine Platzer Lynn Women’s Center and the UVA Department of Athletics are proud to collaborate each year to host the University’s celebration of National Girls and Women in Sports Day. The #NGWSD tradition, led by the Women’s Sports Foundation each year, inspires girls and women to play, to be active, and to realize their full power through the confidence, strength and character gained through sports participation.
