Both ladies are exceptional basketball players and coaches and we can’t wait to have them lead this session for you all! Learn the ins and outs of basketball and take part in a hype tournament with your fellow Hijabi Ballers basketball enthusiasts. No experience necessary! This clinic is a charity event as part of the Reaching Higher campaign and has a suggested donation of $20-30, all of which will go towards Sarah’s mission (Learn more about it in our previous post!)
