We targeted \u2018tweeners\u2019 ages 8-14 because this group tends to drop out of organized sports.&nbsp; We\u2019ve invited this group today to the Leisure Complex to learn something new and get re-engaged.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laurie Mueller, the masterful organizer behind Sport Aurora\u2019s many events, was pleased that the first AGASOD was \u201csold out with five on a waiting list.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got over 80 participants for the morning and afternoon sessions. A key component to today\u2019s success was the role of the U18 Panthers Rep Hockey team. We have three or four U18 Panthers in each group to serve as mentors in a leadership capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark Dubeau, President of the Central York Girls Hockey Association and a Panthers Coach, was coming off a big 6-2 U22 Panthers\u2019 win in Kingston to kick off the first weekend of the top club\u2019s hockey season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coach Dubeau was even more pleased with the 18U club\u2019s active participation in Sunday\u2019s event<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe want all Panther teams to be leaders in the community \u2013 great examples to all girls in all sport, not just hockey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mueller, Sport Aurora\u2019s Executive Director, described the end-of-session process and the critical role of the Panthers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe 18U Panthers are going to sit together at the end of the day with their groups. The Panthers are going to do a non-structured talk about girls in sport, they\u2019ll encourage the girls to stay in sports at any level, and get a feeling on how the day went for the girls here at the Leisure Complex.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to thanking the U18 Panthers group leaders and the eight local sports clubs for providing expert instruction, Mueller also thanked \u201c\u2018Canadian Women in Sport\u2019 for sponsoring today\u2019s eight-sport event. A big thank you to \u2018Next Play\u2019 for providing a grant that covered the costs of fields, extra equipment as needed, and permits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By Jim Stewart<\/strong><\/p>\n\r\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F35115&#038;t=82%20%E2%80%9CTweeners%E2%80%9D%20enjoy%20eight%20sports%20at%20Sport%20Aurora%E2%80%99s%20All-Girls%2C%20All%20Sports%20One%20Day%E2%80%9D%20event%20at%20AFLC&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F35115&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F09%2F2024-09-26-03.jpg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=82%20%E2%80%9CTweeners%E2%80%9D%20enjoy%20eight%20sports%20at%20Sport%20Aurora%E2%80%99s%20All-Girls%2C%20All%20Sports%20One%20Day%E2%80%9D%20event%20at%20AFLC\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F35115&#038;text=Like%3F\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=82%20%E2%80%9CTweeners%E2%80%9D%20enjoy%20eight%20sports%20at%20Sport%20Aurora%E2%80%99s%20All-Girls%2C%20All%20Sports%20One%20Day%E2%80%9D%20event%20at%20AFLC&#038;body=Like%3F:%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F35115\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sport Aurora\u2019s inaugural \u201cAll Girls, All Sports\/ One Day\u201d event was enjoyed by 82 participants at the Aurora Family Leisure Complex on Sunday morning and afternoon.
