Section A

Skate Like a Girl

AZUZ: In his Women's History Month proclamation, President Obama called on all Americans to "honor the history, accomplishments and contributions of American women." That's what we'll be doing all month long on CNN Student News. Today, we're spotlighting a foundation that aims to help young women grow into confident leaders by teaching them how to skateboard. Robin Meade fills in the details.

ROBIN MEADE, HLN ANCHOR, MORNING EXPRESS WITH ROBIN MEADE: These girls are not only having fun...

FLEUR LARSEN, SKATE LIKE A GIRL: You can do this. You can totally do this. Great effort. So good! MEADE: They're building self-esteem, as well.

LARSEN: To see someone who is maybe nervous or scared to do something, and they do it anyway because they believe in it, that's what's inspiring to me.

MEADE: Fleur Larsen and Holly Maeder Sheehan founded Skate Like A Girl 10 years ago. The Seattle-based non-profit encourages female skateboarding by offering instructional clinics and camps.

HOLLY MAEDER SHEEHAN, SKATE LIKE A GIRL: The easiest way to do that is to lift your heel. We wanted to provide an opportunity for girls to challenge themselves physically. To be allowed to fall down, to get dirty, to get hurt, to have a positive outlet for their extra energy.

MEADE: And to do it all within an environment that's supportive.

KRISTIN EBELING, SKATE LIKE A GIRL: There are a lot of stereotypes out there, and so skating with guys, you're susceptible to those. But skating with girls, they don't care. You are kinda all part of one big family. NANCY CHANG, SKATE LIKE A GIRL: Skate Like a Girl is more than skateboarding. It's just the vehicle that empowers girls and women to believe in their full potential.

BAILEY HARRIS, SKATE LIKE A GIRL: I can show those boys, well, you can't do this, but I can!

Female Football Freshman

AZUZ: Is football only a guys' sport? That's what I'm asking today on our blog at . And here is why: A teenage girl who's played for eight years, outgrown peewee football, and is looking to play under the Friday night lights. Andrew Setters from Kentucky afliate WLWT reports on a running back who's moving forward with her dream.

CAROL RAY, FOOTBALL PLAYER: Ooh, you guys are going to go down. And then they realize that I can actually hit and then they change their entire perspective.

ANDREW SETTERS, WLWT REPORTER: Thirteen year-old Carol Ray will take the hits on the field, but she doesn't like to take a lot of grief from other players.

GINA RAY, CAROL RAY'S MOTHER: If you call her 'sweetie' or 'cup-cake', it makes her mad and she wants to hit you even more.

SETTERS: Carol has been playing football for eight years for the Boone County Tigers Pee-Wee Team.
