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 https://www.360docs.net/doc/2516495513.html,. 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.

G. RAY: She says "I wanna play." I said "OK." She says,"You really gonna let me?" "Yeah, you want to play, you can play."

SETTERS: Carol admits she was a little timid at first, but then she fell in love with football.

C. RAY: I think it was my first tackle, and then I wanted another one, and then another one, and then another one and it just kept going.

SETTERS: But now, she's wondering if her football career will be over. Carol's too old to play Pee-Wee next year, so it's time to move up to high school ball, but it's not clear what will happen when she moves up to Lloyd High next year. The superintendent told us that since she's not a Lloyd student yet, they have not made a decision yet on whether she will be able to play.

ERRY RAY, CAROL'S FATHER: We'd like to watch her go as far as she can; be everything she can be. SETTERS: Carol is used to fighting to change people's minds.

C. RAY: One person said, 'You're just a girl, you're nothing compared to us,' and I ended up laying him out a few plays in a row.

SETTERS: But in the end, she's focused on more than just the goal line.

C. RAY: I'm hoping it's going to inspire more girls to go ahead and go out there and play, do it. There's no way you can find out if you like it or not until you actually try it.

AZUZ: Carol Ray just found out she will get to try it as part of the Lloyd High School football squad. Her reaction? About what you'd expect:

C. RAY: Freaked out. I just started hopping, I was like, YES!

AZUZ: While her school makes arrangements, Ray has a new goal for herself: Varsity!

Student Gets His Chance

AZUZ: Moving to the basketball court and one Missouri student's dream. After four years handing out water and towels to players on the team, what he really wanted was to get in the game. Recently, he got his chance. Frank Cusumano of affiliate KSDK has the story.

FRANK CUSUMANO, KSDK REPORTER: He slapped five, he shook hands, and David Chubbs Stillman even had his own personal cheering section.

BILL GUNN, KIRKWOOD H. S. BASKETBALL COACH: You see the guy walking down the halls and he just has a smile on his face and people are just drawn to him.

CUSUMANO: Especially on Monday night, when the team manager became a starting guard.

DAVID ' CHUBBS' STILLMAN, KIRKWOOD HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR: A lot of people were going crazy. CUSUMANO: Chubbs has been in special ed since preschool.

ANN STILLMAN, DAVID'S MOTHER: He doesn't have a specific medical diagnosis, but he has multiple learning disabilities.

CUSUMANO: Chubbs knew two weeks ago that he was going to dress out, so during the holiday break he did a lot of shooting outside in the backyard. And for this game, he was not coming out bashful.

GUNN: I told him his role was to find his favorite spot on the floor, and the team's role was to find him opportunities to get shots off.

CUSUMANO: And they did. In the fourth quarter, Chubbs let it fly.

D. STILLMAN: It was awesome, them feeding me the ball.

KEVIN STILLMAN, DAVID'S FATHER: To watch that ball go through the hoop was just an amazing feeling.

A. STILLMAN: He' s tried for so many years to overcome the obstacles, and he was able to be the star. CUSUMANO: You can say that again. Because with the clock winding down in a convincing victory over Fox, Chubbs drilled his second three-pointer. Where would that night rank in terms of thrills in your lifetime?

D. STILLMAN: It will be the best night

CUSUMANO: How long do you think you'll remember it for?

D. STILLMAN: Ever.

Indian Cricket Fans Cheer for Their Team

KRISTIE LU STOUT: Well India's World Cup campaign gets on the way on Saturday and cricket has always been a national obsession in India, but these days things have gone way beyond the usual mania. Indian fans say they just want their team to end a generation long drought in the World Cup. Satinder Bindra shows us the depth of their love of the game.

SATINDER BINDRA: If this doesn't look like your normal game of cricket, you're right, it isn't. This is a special effort by scuba diver Sabir Bux. He's playing a game of cricket under wate r, his way of wishing the Indian team lucky in the Cricket World Cup, a once every four years tournament to decide the world's best team.

"I'm shooting a song underwater for the World Cup," he says, "We want India to win the cup this time." SATINDER BINDRA: It's a sentiment shared by tens of millions across this cricket loving nation. The South Indian fans have toiled for days to construct the World Cup, cricket's most coveted prize, out of sand, and this giant cricket bat and ball, another expression of their devotion for team India. Dozens of hard core fans are also shaving off their hair, a traditional Indian way of seeking divine intervention. "We've shaved our heads," he says, "and are praying for the success of the Indian cricket team."

At the moment cricket is so big in the nation's collective conscience that some garment manufacturers are cashing in by weaving images of cricket stars on Saris, the traditional dress still worn by most Indian women. India last won the World Cup in 1983, twenty four years ago. This time most cricket pundits believe Australia will take home the cup, but try telling these batting cricketers that. Many of them say their team still has a good chance.

India's cricket team realizes it's under enormous pressure. All the captain is promising is the team will do its best. RAHUL DRAVID (INDIAN CAPTAIN): Not, you know, romantic about it. I just think that we, you know, we've got a job to do, we are... I believe we are a good team and we've got to go out there and perform like a good team.

SATINDER BINDRA: Meanwhile the scuba divers have completed their special under water video for team India. India's first game is against neighbor Bangladesh on Saturday. Satinder Bindra, CNN, New Delhi.
