We’re a women’s basketball community with over 700 members. We play organized and competitive pick up games every week in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2016.
Our mission is to provide a safe space for women to play basketball year-round, every week, in a supportive, all-female environment. We offer structured, competitive runs where women of all skill levels can reignite their passion for the game, connect with a welcoming community, and grow both on and off the court.
