🗣 From the Director

This week I’ve found myself reflecting on how proud I am — not just of our players, but of our entire community. It’s the little moments that fill my cup:
…An introverted player finally chatting with teammates.
…A player who once didn’t want to go on court now confidently playing full games.
…A manager absolutely nailing their team comms.
Yes, the on-court growth is great, but what we’re building here goes beyond basketball. We’re shaping a club full of good people. Basketball is just the vehicle.
— Matt

Thanks for being part of something bigger…a club that’s about people first, and basketball second. Let’s keep showing up, lifting each other up, and enjoying the ride.

See you on the court!
Go Tigers!
