A Mentorship Experience with History!
Girls Night Out is about giving young girls the opportunity to be mentored by female student-athletes at the varsity level while honouring the history of great women who were addicted to basketball and gave so much to women's basketball. g.a.b participants are invited to spend an evening watching and meeting the players from a varsity women’s basketball game for free. Visiting a varsity locker room, meeting and talking one-on-one with the players and coaching staff while eating pizza are just some of the highlights the girls experience. |
