They played with heart, they played with skill, but most of all, they played for each other 🙌🏽
We are so proud of our 14U #teamLEADERS for the way they showed up at @grassroots365`s Holiday Classic Tournament at @opengympremier this past weekend.
They left it all on court 3 and left with the W 🏆

Don’t worry. We didn’t forget to celebrate December birthdays! 😉
Drop a 🥳 in the comments below or tag a special someone who celebrates their birthday this month.
Leadership isn’t just a title, it’s how you show up. Play hard, play with heart, and play together! We’re excited to watch our #teamLEADERS take the court this weekend at the @opengympremier Holiday Classic in Oakland ⚡️
We are lucky to have the most gracious supporters. Our student-leaders and their families recently got to spend some time at Blue Marble Acres – a regenerative oasis in West Marin where they were able to pick peppers and strawberries, collect fresh eggs, and even hug some alpacas! It was truly a magical day of connection.
A huge THANK YOU for having us, @bluemarbleacres_marin. We will definitely be back! 💙

On #GivingTuesday, we stand for every child who deserves a chance to belong, grow, and lead.
Over half of our families rely on Tuition Assistance to step into spaces like this one. Your gift doesn’t fund a program, it fuels a child’s confidence.
