Sacramento—Assemblymember Carol Liu (La Canada-Flintridge), Chair of the Legislative Women’s Caucus, presented a resolution, ACR 9, declaring today as Girls and Women in Sports Day. The theme of this year’s celebration is “More than a Game.”
“Participation in sports is truly more than a game. Athletics have a tremendous positive impact on the physical and psychological health of young women, which leads to increased success in educational and career goals,” said Liu. “We need to celebrate and encourage more women, both young and old, to embrace sports.”
