women's sports

Ladies' competitive games

Women's sports are athletic competitions exclusively for female participants.

The category exists because physical differences between sexes create meaningful performance gaps in most sports.

Women's sports range from professional leagues to school athletics: She plays women's basketball at the state university.

The phrase often appears in debates about transgender athletes, funding equity, and media coverage.
