How to get involved!
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.

Round 2 of our all-girls clinic did not disappoint. The effort, the focus, the encouragement — these girls showed up and set the tone 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Can’t wait to run it back… stay tuned!
Big love to @thehamlinschool for providing a beautiful, welcoming space for our community to grow 🌷

Another title slipped away but this 13U squad keeps proving we’re built different. Team. Brotherhood. Family – every possession. They’re the gold standard. Trophies will follow. Growth is already happening 🏀✨
Winning isn’t the scoreboard — it’s who these 14U LEADERS are becoming.
Every hustle. Every dive. Every pass. Every movement is purposeful. That’s growth. That’s the victory. 🏀🔥
We’re thrilled to continue our meaningful partnership with The Hamlin School as we prepare to host another All-Girls Empowerment Clinic at their campus on November 24th & 25th
⚠️ Not to be confused with our co-ed Thanksgiving Clinic at the Chinese American International School!
We’re creating spaces where young girls gain confidence, build community, and learn to lead both on and off the court. Together with Hamlin, we’re shaping the leaders of tomorrow!
