BAWSI

To kick off women’s history month we want to highlight the women who built BAWSI’s history. Today, we look back and celebrate Julie Foudy Brandi Chastain and Marlene Bjornsrud. Thank you to these strong, visionary women for paving the way for the rest of us. It’s an honor to walk in your light and carry out your vision. #choosetomatter #womenshistorymonth #bawsigirls #bawsirollers

Have you seen our BAWSI Virtual Playground on YouTube? head on over and experience some fun games and sports training with your BAWSI coaches! (Link in bio)

The first coaches I ever had were BAWSI coaches and their enthusiasm and love for their sports sparked curiosity in me and created a longing to participate in a team. They motivated me and helped me feel empowered and confident trying new physical activities. When I first discovered the sport of Rugby my freshman year of college, I instantly fell in love. Rugby taught me about strength, perseverance, teamwork, and determination. I am blessed to be a BAWSI coach and have the opportunity to share space with our Girls and Rollers to begin instilling these important leadership values at an early age. Athlete Leader Michelle #NGWSD #choosetomatter

I’m thankful for the coaches that encouraged me when I failed, pushed me when I succeeded, and allowed me to see sports as a vehicle for positive change in my life. I hope I can do the same for all our BAWSI Girls! -Program Director Courtney #NGWSD #choosetomatter

I started as a volunteer at BAWSI in August of 2019. I quickly fell in love with the work being done at BAWSI and am so thrilled to join the BAWSI team. My favorite memory has been hearing the BAWSI girls set goals for themself during the opening lockerroom. Hearing goals like I will ask for help when I need it" always brightens my day! -Athlete Leader Mya

Grateful for the lasting connections made on the playground. Looking forward to finding new ways to connect and get moving virtually this year. #bawsimovesmonday #bawsi #choosetomatter

Our first virtual 5K will now take place on Saturday, October 24th through Sunday, October 25th. We hope you can join us in getting out and moving for a great cause!

Sometimes slowing down is just as important as moving fast. Mindfulness is one of BAWSI’s core values and we practice it on and off the playground. Today, we want to remind you to be where your feet are and take some mindful deep breaths. What are some ways you practice mindfulness? #BAWSIMovesMonday

Happy Women’s Equality day! BAWSI is uplifted by those who came before us and we hope to continue inspiring the next generation of girls to be braver, bolder, and more themselves!
