The Origin of Women’s Sports in Passaic Valley


For my high school tenure, I attended Passaic Valley High School in Little Falls New Jersey. My High School has a famous origin story of women's sport originating from Passaic Valley. Wehn my high school was built in 1940 and women were not able to participate in sports that we have today in the United States, so Passaic Valley invented Girl's Show which is a day in which all the girls are able to participate in a gymnastics and cheering event, giving them their day in which they can be athletic and have a day in which men's sports are not the only thing that mattered. These event that take place are Dance, cheer, exercise, posters and relays. The First Girl Show took place in 1941 and it has two teams, team green and team white. Girl Show still takes place to this day still, and these are the posters of each team, hanging within the gym of Passaic Valley high school in the year 2017.
