A couple athletes from Appleton West say the sport isn't exclusive to guys, and it wasn't just talk as these athletes competed against each other all day.
All athletes encourage every young girl to get involved if they're interested.
"Boys can do anything girls can do. Girls can do anything boys can do. So, anybody can play any sport," says Appleton West Junior Lydia Hamschild.
