Our Collective Vision is to build character and self-esteem!

We demand that our student athletes be in great mental and physical condition and that they excel on and off the basketball court.

What We Do

It is a fact the young ladies aren’t provided the same opportunity to participate in athletic competitions as their male counterparts.  We provide a platform designed to EMPOWER young ladies. We do this by focusing on the 5 areas of Social Emotional Learning.  Each young person is an expert of their own experiences and we use these experiences so that we all are able to learn and grow together. 

Testimonials

“My daughter never participated in athletics before Ladies First. She was doing fashion pageants. Once she started I couldn’t get her to stop, she fell in love with the program and excelled in school graduating with a 4.7 GPA from Akron Early College.”

“I like the way that they teach the girls. The girls are able to come with no experience at all and are allowed to grow into themselves. Mistakes are welcome here.”
