Who are we? What do we do?

Our team has collectively been involved in coaching young women in this type of programming for over a decade. Our multidisciplinary collective has combined all of our knowledge and expertise to provide well-organized and executed development and training for young women between the ages of 10 to 18-years-old. We focus on social development through sports, in particular, volleyball and basketball. ​ Our organization is divided into the following divisions: SPIKES/Evolution, and Beyond the Court. In each sports division, the girls have an opportunity to participate in drills, games, clinics and even tournaments.

​

  • The SPIKES/Evolution division delivers volleyball & basketball programs to girls from age 10 to 18-years-old.

  • The Beyond the Court division focuses on preparing girls of all ages for success off the court by prioritizing their social skills with attention to leadership, confidence, and cooperation.​

​

​Our all-female team is comprised of Level 1 trained coaches with decades worth of experience coaching basketball and/or volleyball who provide direct training to the youth in our programs. We provide our girls a fun and safe environment to learn and grow in the fundamentals of volleyball and basketball while simultaneously empowering them and instilling skills that they can take far beyond the boundaries of a court.
