As the long days of summer wind down, there’s no shortage of energy and excitement from our student-leaders. The last couple of weeks have been packed with growth, skill-building, and unforgettable memories.

Celebrating Our First All-Girls Clinic

One of the highlights of this summer was our inaugural all-girls clinic at The Hamlin School. Young girls came ready to learn, compete, and empower each other. From drills to scrimmages, the energy became electric, and the impact was real.

One parent even said:

“My daughter is having an amazing time at the all girls camp this week! She shared how much she loved a few of the coaches and how she feels like she is growing in different skillsets. It was so great to hear her express all of this!”

The Culture Combine — Setting the Standard

The energy was unmatched at our 2025 Culture Combine, where athletes from across the Bay Area came together to compete, connect, and grow. Our combine has become a proving ground for leadership, resilience, and excellence, and the impact is incredible. Coaches, parents, and athletes alike have noticed how it raises the standard.

The lessons extended beyond the court. Athletes are learning to push through challenges, support each other, and lead by example shaping not just better players, but stronger humans.

Back to School, Still on the Grind

As students head back to class, the momentum from summer carries with it new skills, confidence, and excitement. Basketball may have been the vehicle, but the lessons – leadership, discipline, and teamwork – will fuel the year ahead.
