"February 5, 2020, marks the 34th Annual National Girls & Women in Sports Day. This celebration inspires girls and women to play and be active, to realize their full power. The confidence, strength and character gained through sports participation are the very tools girls and women need to become strong leaders in sports and life."

PARC is proud to have 225 girls currently participating in our youth basketball league, up 22% from last year! As the father of a daughter who is active in sports, I encourage you to seek opportunities for your daughters to be active and to experience as many sports as possible!
