The Mpls Lady Lakers Basketball Club - Our Basketball Program

While basketball may seem purely recreational, the Mpls Lady Lakers Basketball Club has successfully integrated sports and character building skills since 2001.  Basketball is used to help girls develop their talents and abilities.

Consider some of the life skills and attributes that the game of basketball provides:

• self confidence

• goal setting

• problem solving

• self-discipline

• anger management

• communication skills

• leadership skills

• teamwork

• hard work and perseverance

Girls also learn how to:

• manage winning and losing

• make new friends

• experience a world beyond the inner city

• develop the skills that can provide them a scholarship for college

• learn a game that lasts a lifetime

Every child deserves a chance …a chance to strive for a positive future filled with endless opportunities, regardless of their circumstances.
