“The Under-14 Transition Camp is an important step in helping our young female players to prepare for the next phase of their basketball journey. It’s not just about improving their technical and tactical understanding, but also about building confidence and leadership in a supportive, high-performance environment.
"The Her World, Her Rules initiative is a great way to celebrate and invest in our young female athletes, ensuring they have the resources, visibility, and encouragement they deserve.”
