For Girls by Girls FREE Weekly Drop in Sports Returns This Week

For Girls by Girls, the City of Edmonton's free drop-in sports program for girls ages 8 to 17, is back this fall at The Meadows Community Recreation Centre.

Each week, student-athletes from The King's University lead the group through a mix of sports, games, and skill-building. The focus is on trying new things and building confidence, so girls don't need any experience or a favourite sport to join.

There's no fee and no registration. Girls just show up in gym clothes and running shoes, ready to play. Spots are first-come, first-served, so plan to arrive a few minutes early.

It's a good fit for a daughter who's curious about sports but not ready for a team commitment. It also works for girls who already play and want an extra night of activity with other girls their age.
