“GO Ball was the first skills program that truly helped me fall in love with basketball. It provided a competitive yet welcoming environment that met me exactly where I was in my basketball journey. The program’s structure allowed me to progress quickly, giving me new skills and challenges that pushed me to grow. It was also a wonderful place to make new friends and build connections. I truly believe that without GO Ball, I wouldn’t have been able to make the leap to my club team the following year. The volunteer coaches and the sense of community were incredible, and I’m so grateful for the experience.”

“GO Ball was a huge part of my basketball journey growing up in the North. It gave me a space where I felt confident, supported, and pushed to get better, not just as a player, but as a leader too. Being surrounded by other female teammates and coaches who loved the game made me feel empowered, and that energy helped fuel my passion all the way through my basketball career. GO Ball showed me what I was capable of.”
