Empowering the Youth on National Girls & Women in Sports Day
National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD), is a powerful reminder of the impact sports can have on young girls and women. USTA Florida is proud to continue its commitment to empowering girls through tennis with a series of impactful events in 2025, designed to inspire, educate, and support girls in their athletic and professional journeys.
Upcoming All-Girls Tennis Camps
One of USTA Florida’s biggest successes with Women and Girls in Tennis has been the All-Girl Camps. These camps give girls a day to play, learn, and grow in the game surrounded by other women leaders in the sport.
So far, USTA Florida has three All-Girls Tennis Camps scheduled and more will be coming as the year carries on.
- February 22 at the Racquet Club of Cocoa Beach
- March 2 at Palm Beach Gardens Tennis and Pickleball Center
- March 8 at Riverside Racquet Complex
These camps offer more than just tennis instruction. Participants engage in skill-building activities, interactive workshops, and motivational sessions that focus on self-confidence, teamwork, and mental resilience. The camps are led by experienced female coaches and mentors who serve as role models, showing young athletes what’s possible both on and off the court.
Girls Got Game Event with Miami-Dade Parks
Kicking off NGWSD celebrations, the Miami-Dade Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department hosted their fourth annual Girls Got Game event on February 1. This free, interactive event welcomed girls aged 6-17 to explore a variety of sports, including soccer, volleyball, flag football, netball, softball, and tennis. USTA Florida proudly partnered with organizations like the Miami Dolphins, Miami Marlins, and others to make this event a success.
Participants received hands-on instruction from local athletes and coaches, learning the basics of each sport while building new friendships. The event also featured some inspiring women guest speakers, such as Olympic Athletes and Women in Leaderships roles in professional sports.
These role models shared personal stories of perseverance, success, and the lessons they’ve learned through sports, inspiring the next generation of female athletes.
The Power of Sports for Girls
National Girls and Women in Sports Day reminds everyone of the importance of accessible and inclusive sporting experiences for all. Together, we celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports Day, honoring the past, present, and future of girls in sports.
