We support and advance young girls in the game of basketball from entry to elite level. Our efforts are concentrated in San Benito County, Santa Clara County, and Monterey County.
Consider us your basketball liaison introducing you to knowledge, people, and resources that can be difficult to navigate during the early years with a focus on female ballers in 3rd-8th grade. We are not replacing teams or coaches but rather the bridge between players and these experts and/or organizations.

Host and invite elite player development coaches to gyms in your area
Provide financial support through scholarships for club team fees and/or clinics
Offer nutrition and strength and conditioning support through collaborations with local chefs and gym owners

About Us
Since Sophia was 4 years old, we’ve been researching opportunities for her to continue growing her love for the game which led to establishing deeply rooted relationships with coaches, trainers and other players. Sometimes we made great decisions and sometimes we made not-so-great decisions but in the end, we learned some valuable lessons and discovered where the gaps in services are. We believe that sharing knowledge and pooling resources will help all of our daughters get to the next level with their basketball journey. So, if you have specific questions or simply want to know what opportunities are coming up next…then shoot us an email and be sure to follow us on social media!
In the United States, a girl is two times more likely than a boy to drop out of her favorite sport by the time she's only 14 years old
We have experienced the confusion of getting a girl through her basketball seasons, and want to help share the knowledge with other parents
By removing the barriers to access resources they need, we increase the likelihood that girls stay in the game
By pooling resources and assisting with booking logistics, we can host pop-up clinics in smaller cities for elite player development coaches to visit and train
