The symposium is entitled “Stay Ready”. The aim of the symposium is to provide a forum where girls and women can have another opportunity to network and have open discussions and dialogue. The symposium will also focus on three key areas that are critical to successfully growing the game for women and girls in Bermuda, namely coaches, players and parents. The symposium will also challenge the participants to understand the importance of staying ready on and off the field for all opportunities that come in life.
