Aurora Parks, Recreation & Open Space (PROS) is excited to announce She Plays Aurora, a campaign dedicated to inspiring girls to take part in youth sports programs across the city.
This campaign is focused on removing the barriers that impact girls’ sports participation both nationwide and in our community by addressing three key areas:
introduction, coaching representation and accessibility.
In an effort to help girls shoot a basket or score a goal for the first time, Aurora PROS is thrilled to offer a completely free introductory sports trial day for girls ages 5 to 13 at the city’s Southeast Recreation Center and Fieldhouse on Sunday, March 15 – with a special
Denver Summit FC tie-in.
On that date, the facility’s gym and fieldhouse will be fully reserved for
event registrants to either be introduced to a new sport or simply experience it at one of the city’s premier recreation facilities for the first time. For players, city coaches will be on hand to guide open volleyball, basketball, tennis, soccer and flag football sessions. For parents, special guests will be available to discuss the importance of playing sports at a young age, the need for volunteer coaches and how to take advantage of the city’s scholarship offerings.
As an added show of support for girls and women’s sports in the metro area, registration for the free She Plays Aurora trial day includes an entry to win tickets to the Denver Summit FC’s first-ever home match on March 28 at Empower Field at Mile High.
