Binghamton University is set to celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports Day on Saturday, February 7, 2026. This annual event combines the excitement of a Division I basketball game with a hands-on multi-sport clinic designed to inspire the next generation of female athletes.
Game Day and Multi-Sport Clinic
The afternoon begins at the Events Center, where the Binghamton Women’s Basketball team faces off against NJIT at 12:00pm. Following the game, the focus shifts to the West Gym for an All-Sports Clinic. Designed for children in grades 1 through 6, the clinic welcomes all experience levels—from seasoned players to those trying a sport for the very first time.
Interactive Drills and Athlete Mentorship
Participants will rotate through interactive stations and drills led by student-athletes from Binghamton’s diverse women’s teams. This format allows youth to explore multiple sports and gain exposure to various athletic paths. The session concludes with a dedicated Q&A and meet-and-greet, where girls can ask the Bearcats about teamwork, perseverance, and the collegiate athlete experience.
Free Registration and Family Perks
Registration is free and includes several perks for local families:
- Game Tickets: Each participant receives three tickets (one for the athlete and two for guests).
- Official Gear: Every participant receives a commemorative t-shirt.
- Additional Guests: Extra tickets for the basketball game can be purchased for $10 each at the box office.
Important Attendance Details
To ensure safety, the university requires a parent or guardian to remain with their child throughout both the game and the clinic. Check-in takes place at the Events Center Ticket Office between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM.
Limited Space and Waitlist Information
Capacity is limited to 55 participants, so early registration is highly encouraged. If the clinic is full, families can join a waitlist by emailing rbrown33@binghamton.edu in case of cancellations.
