The girls@play program was created by CAAWS in 2000 in order to offer a meeting place for active girls. In the beginning the program consisted of a grant program, informative and interactive website and an annual achievement award for youth.

The program was initially sponsored by Nike Canada and managed jointly by CAAWS and Nike. Although the program was developed for girls, primarily in the tween and teen age brackets, females of all ages have been drawn to girls@play, making it a huge success. The program has also been popular with parents who are interested in motivating their daughters to be involved in sport and physical activity.

Presently, the Girls@Play program is under review, please check back with us
periodically for updates on the program. Thanks for visiting!
