Support Women In Sports Day

Sunday, Feb. 18 at the TC NIT marks our inaugural “Support Women in Sports” day, which offers attendees a chance to embrace the task of finding and growing opportunities for women in the world of sports.

The goal of this initiative is to celebrate and demonstrate support and encouragement to ALL of our female athletes and coaches at the most competitive youth volleyball tournament in the country.

How will this look?
‍Athletes are encouraged to use the Support Women in Sport temporary tattoos that will be handed out at the airport Friday and onsite at the tournament. Teams are also encouraged to wear peach or teal (hair ties, hair ribbons, shoelaces, etc.) to express support for this movement!

Other Activities
‍Sign the Board
We have a giant Support Women in Sports board that ALL female athletes are able to sign and in return will get a FREE sticker featuring the Support Women in Sport logo! This board will be located in the KC Convention main lobby near the elevator entrance to the courts.

Raffle Basket Fundraiser
‍We will be selling raffle tickets onsite ($5 each/$15 for four) for baskets and donations from Triple Crown NIT vendors and sponsors. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the local Women Leaders in Sports an organization focused on helping females find and develop careers within the sports industry.
