Young Tar Heel fans are invited to join the North Carolina women's sports teams for 2022 UNC National Girls & Women in Sports Day, an annual event to highlight women's athletics at Carolina, brought to you by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina and Carolina Athletics. The NGWSD celebration is set for Feb. 6 from 10-11:30 a.m. at the Bill Koman Practice Complex on the UNC campus.
The day's event is intended for girls and boys pre-K through eighth grade. There is no charge to participate and everyone (including parents/guardians) who registers in advance will receive a complimentary ticket to the UNC women's basketball game against Miami that day at noon at nearby Carmichael Arena.

As a proud partner of Carolina Athletics, Blue Cross NC has enhanced its commitment to women's athletics by being the presenting sponsor of Carolina women's basketball and National Girls &Women in Sports Day.
The NGWSD event includes mini clinics with each sport, giving kids the opportunity to try out a variety of skills in a fun environment that's appropriate for kids of all ages. The majority of the 15 UNC women's varsity teams – cross country, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, swimming & diving, track & field and volleyball – will be represented at the event.
Masks are required in all indoor spaces on campus, including all athletic venues. Thank you for your continued commitment to keeping our community safe.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of women's varsity sports at UNC. In 1971-1972, seven UNC women's teams -- basketball, field hockey, volleyball, fencing, swimming & diving, tennis, and gymnastics – began varsity competition as part of the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW). In 1974-1975, these teams were officially moved from the Department of Physical Education to the Department of Athletics. Carolina has been celebrating the milestone all year with special features, stories and videos found on GoHeels.com/50Years.
Please bring your proof of registration to the event. Information about check-in and parking will be emailed to registrants in advance of the event.
