Club Basketball




Ever thought about playing for more than one team? Well you can !! Club basketball is a terrific way to learn how to play with other girls, get major exposure in many many tournaments, and experience different styles of coaching. 

I had the opportunity to coach a 15u team In Laguna Hills California for Mercadel Basketball .
There was a team of 10-12 girls who tried out and made the team! This group of talented individuals also played for their respective high school, and sometimes their new Club ball teammate was their on high school rival! 


Playing for a club ball or traveling team is another way to increase your skills BIG TIME! Traveling to different cities ands sates also gives you an opportunity to check out your competition all around! 

There are hundreds of Travel ball, Club ball teams here in California and I know that you would easily be able to find a traveling/club ball team near you. 

Here is a list of just a few traveling teams around the country. I'm sure doing a google search will provide you with thousands of options! Get out there!! Play your game and you will notice the change!! Keep balling ladies!! Don't stop GET I GET IT!! 

Open Gym Balling!


Basketball season is over NOW WHAT?? Do you... take a nice long break till next try outs?? NO!! If you want to be a great player you should make basketball a year round thing. There are always highschool and colleges opening their doors to young players to get their ball on. Ask around, do a search online for open gym in your area. 
Programs like 24 hour fitness always have ballers in the gym check it out sometime!! 

Oh btw if there are just guys in the gym, dont be intmidated. I've always found that playing aghainst stronger bigger players gives you an advantage when you return to playing against smaller weaker players. 

Here are a few gyms offering open gym around the country...

  1. Bryan College -Dayton, TN 37321
  2. New River Knight Community College -1328 S. Collegiate Dr. Wilkesboro, N.C. 28697
  3. Wake Tech-2235 Garner Rd. - Raleigh, NC - 27610
  4. Virginia Western Community College-
  5. Yavapai College - Arizona
  6. Cypress College- Cypress California
  7. Compton College- Compton CA
Like I said this is just a small list. Visit your local community college, or University and inquire about open gym play. You will also be seen by potential coaches too!! 

Im excited and cant wait till the next time... keep ballin girl, the games not over yet!
