Thank you for your interest in the Sports Day Seminar at Santa Fe College!
This event is in recognition of National Girls and Women in Sports Day, which is an annual acknowledgement and celebration of the accomplishments of female athletes. This event will feature women in leadership roles who have benefitted from sports in their life and provides helpful information to girls, boys, women, and men. All are welcome.
Our goal is to help each participant become more aware of opportunities in the sports industry beyond playing and coaching.
The following groups would find this event useful:
- Middle and High School male and female student-athletes (all sports welcome) and parents wanting to learn more about the impact of sports on students beyond their playing days.
- SF and UF Students in majors or degree tracks related to sports management, business, health care, education or those undecided.
- Community Members looking to learn more about the sports industry from current leaders.
Although this is a free event, we do ask that you complete this registration form.
The event will be taking place on Sunday, February 15th beginning at 2:00pm in the Santa Fe College Gymnasium (Building V).
