Muslim Teammates: Muslim and Sport Hijabs

muslim teammates: The lightweight scarves stay put and are less bulky than other hijabs, garments that cover the hair and are worn by many Muslim women to express their faith, according to Hamilton Spectator. We're more confident on the field, said junior lacrosse player Fadumo Adan. Deering High School in Portland, Maine, is providing sport hijabs with the goal of making Muslim girls comfortable and boosting their participation in sports. This one doesn't fall off. Tennis co-captains Liva Pierce and Anaise Manikunda raised more than 800 online to buy the sporty hijabs for their Muslim teammates after the school's athletic director learned of the product. No matter what I do, it won't fall off. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
