Mission
Our mission is to encourage young girls/ females, ages 7-16 to play basketball in a positive and healthy environment created by us for us! Specifically they learn life skills such as sportsmanship, teamwork, leadership, community building and self-confidence.
FLB is dedicated to building a better , stronger, diverse, girls basketball community. We welcome all young women of all basketball skill levels. Our program helps provide basketball IQ and fundamental development, youth engagement, mentoring, and volunteer opportunities in the Bay Area.
WHAT WE DO
EVENTS
For The Love of Basketball often hosts basketball related events here in the Bay Area. These events are geared towards the youth therefore there will often be different activities, other than basketball, for the youth to participate in. For The Love of Basketball wants to create a community for the people and hosting events is one of the many ways we try to do that
CLINICS/CAMPS
For The Love of Basketball hosts various basketball clinics/camps around the Bay Area for girls youth. The primary goal for the basketball clinics/camps is to encourage young girls to participate in sports and to help develop their skills on and off the court. All skill levels are welcome in these basketball clinics/camps
Basketball Leauges & Club Teams
For The Love of Basketball has created a in house skills and development basketball league. This League is the starter league that will prepare your athlete for the next level of recreation and competitive team basketball. We work to help girls learn the fundamentals of basketball, while giving them the opportunity to compete in a supportive and fun environment. Each athlete will get an opportunity to practice and learn how to play team basketball while competing in semi-competitive full court and half court 2 on 2, 3 on 3 and 5 on 5 games.
WE ARE A PROGRAM THAT BELIEVES EVERYONE SHOULD PLAY AND WILL NOT CUT ANYONE FROM OUR TEAMS!!
