Basketball Extravaganza Time

  1. Updates

Playworks held a Basketball Extravaganza at 112th St. Elementary to kick off the Girl's Basketball Leagues. More than 20 schools came together on a Saturday to participate in a day of games, drills, and skill-building activities to prepare teams for the upcoming games. It was huge hit with parents, students, volunteers, and staff alike.

Our leagues got off to a strong start, and games continued all across Los Angeles and Orange County. We'd like to thank everyone for your support in making this year's girls' basketball leagues a rousing success!
