Founded by social worker Laura Bagnarol, the program includes drills, agility activities, obstacle courses and scrimmages, as well as a “strong girl” discussion each week that will focus on a woman currently in the news. The project also will be taking part as a team in the Krazy Kids Inflatable Fun Run on May 21 at Barton Orchards in Poughquaq (krazykidsinflatablefunrun.com).

The cost for Pigskin Princess is $100; to register, pigskinprincessproject.com or call 845-803-1749. The project also offers a $150 morning summer camp from June 27 to July 1 at Fishkill Recreation for girls ages 7 to 9.
