This year's Sweetheart Clinic is sponsored by Marshall Athletics, Pepsi, and Papa John's. The program began in 1998 in recognition of National Girls and Women in Sports Day. Since its inception, more than 1,700 girls have participated and had the opportunity to learn developmental skills in nine women's sports.
Participants will be divided into age groups and will rotate through nine different stations, learning developmental sports skills from Marshall coaches and student-athletes. In addition to developmental skill instruction, participants will receive a free t-shirt.
Check-in for participants will last 9:45 to 10:30 a.m. in The Marshall University Recreation Center. The Clinic will begin promptly at 10:30 a.m. Following the Clinic, participants will enjoy a pizza party and a Marshall University Cheerleaders-led pep rally sponsored by Papa John's and Pepsi. Participants will then be invited to attend the Marshall women's basketball team's game versus the University of Central Florida at 2:00 p.m. in the Cam Henderson Center.
The Clinic, including pizza party, pep rally and the women's basketball game, is free to participants. Parents and observers may purchase a ticket to the women's basketball game. In conjunction with the "Jam the Cam" event, tickets for this women's basketball game are available for $1 through the Marshall Athletic Ticket Office.
