Wishing everyone a fantastic week ahead!

The Kansas City Chapter Steering Committee hosted its first call on April 13th as it looks to commence programming during May and launch a kickoff event in conjunction with Sporting KC.
Sporty made its debut at the Women’s Final Four in Minneapolis. Amazing effort by the city to host the games before sellout crowds, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Convention and the Fan Fest at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
