As I was sending out my eight million texts to the captains tonight lol ... I realized it was 7 years ago (2009) that I officially started the league. The story remains, I moved here from Texas looking for a place to play basketball and after going to every rec center and gym I knew of and all of them telling me that "women's basketball leagues don't work" I knew I had to make one that did ... ( I love it when someone tells me I can't do something) I knew that if my desire and love for the game burned that bright I could serve as a light to find more hoopers in Las Vegas. And although there is only one active player in the league from this picture I am so proud of what this organization has become and what it has meant to me and so many other women in this city. It's not just a league. It's a tribe full of warriors.. An association of leaders... Every Sunday I look forward to seeing the strong active women that refuse to give up their passion just because in society's eyes ... its not the norm. I applaud the women that stand with me and make this basketball community what it is.
We are the mothers, daughters, sisters, wives, girlfriends and friends that believe in something together. And I know with my soul that this faith translates to every facet of our lives to make Las Vegas a better place.
League starts this Sunday June 12th at Hoops City ... I hope to see you all there!!!
