District Evaluation Weekend Announced
 
The New York State Amateur Hockey Association web site is also a great resource on many hockey matters.  Under Girls/Women, you will find the  invitation for all girls born in 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989 and 1988 to participate in the annual "District Evaluation Weekend".  After skating in game situations, each skater receives an invitation to attend either the National Camp run by USA Hockey or one of two regional camps run by NYSAHA.

ITHACA, N.Y. - The Cornell University Department of Athletics and Physical Education, in conjunction with the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, will hold its annual celebration of National Girls and Women in Sports Day on Saturday, Feb. 11, at Bartels Hall. The Big Red invites Ithaca and its surrounding communities to take part in an evening full of activities beginning at 4:30 p.m. Admission to all the events is free for girls ages 6-12.

National Girls and Women in Sports Day is a salute to the importance of sports and fitness in the lives of girls and women. Cornell will celebrate by providing girls with the opportunity to explore and experience a variety of varsity and club sports, including gymnastics, soccer, lacrosse, softball, crew, fencing, and rugby. Cornell Outdoor Education will once again give the first 25 girls to sign up, with parental permission, the opportunity to explore the Lindseth Climbing Wall, the largest indoor rock climbing wall in
North America. Exploration of all of the sports is encouraged, but participants are allowed to choose which activities they would like to take part in.

Following the sports skills sessions the festivities will move to Newman Arena, where the Big Red women's basketball team will take on the Yale Bulldogs in an exciting Ivy League contest. The evening will come to a close with a post game autograph social with the team.

Girls with a budding interest or passion for sports should come out for a fantastic, fun-filled evening celebrating the great things that can be accomplished by women in athletics!

Direct any questions to Chris Wlosinski, Director of Student-Athlete Support Services, at 607-254-7472, or via email at cmw32@cornell.edu.

Admission to all events is free, open to girls ages 6-12.
T-shirts will be given to the first 100 participants.

• 4:15 p.m. - Registration at Bartels Hall
(If your child wishes to try the climbing wall, parents must be in attendance at registration to sign a permission form)
