Shock’s Cash Teams Up With WJR AM 760 And South Oakland YMCA To Celebrate National Girls And Women In Sports Day On February 10
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Detroit Shock WNBA All-Star forward and 2004 USA Basketball Olympic Gold Medalist Swin Cash has teamed up with WJR 760 AM and the South Oakland Family YMCA to provide a two-hour complementary basketball and life skills clinic on February 10 from 5 – 7 p.m. The clinic will be in honor of National Girls and Women in Sports Day, which will be celebrated nationally on February 9. The Day was chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1986 to honor female athletic achievement and recognize the importance of sports and fitness participation for all girls and women.
“It’s extremely important to recognize this day,” said Cash. “Women are making more and more of an impact in sports every day and the young girls are the future of our game. Professional athletes such as myself need to continue to find ways to be accessible as role models to young girls and boys playing sports. Myself, along with the Shock, are thrilled to celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports Day with the aspiring young athletes of metro-Detroit.”
In addition to working on basketball fundamentals, Cash will be delivering a brief motivational talk focused on this year’s NGWSD theme, “More Than A Game.” Everyone attending the clinic will also have an opportunity to get an autograph and picture with Cash. Shock Head Athletic Trainer/Strength and Conditioning Coach Laura Ramus will also be providing instruction to all youth. Ramus is also the Clinical Director for Michigan Hand and Sport Rehabilitation and President of Girls Can Jump.
The South Oakland Family YMCA is located at 1016 West Eleven Mile Road, Royal Oak, Michigan 48067. Sign-up by clicking here and mailing the registration form to Detroit Shock, 4 Championship Drive, Auburn Hills, MI 48326 or by calling the Shock at 248-377-0165. Space is limited.
NGWSD began in 1987 as a day to remember Olympic volleyball player Flo Hyman for her athletic achievements and her work to assure equality for women's sports. Hyman died of Marfan's Syndrome in 1986 while competing in a volleyball tournament in Japan. Since that time, NGWSD has evolved into a day to acknowledge the past and recognize current sports achievements, the positive influence of sports participation, and the continuing struggle for equality and access for women in sports.
