ABOUT
The LA Clippers took another exciting step into the world of girls’ basketball and launched “Grow Her Game,” a community initiative presented by CarMax. The program will bring free programming to local girls basketball players and provide training opportunities and resources to local coaches on best practices for coaching girls basketball.
The platform includes six upcoming Grow Her Game girls’ basketball clinics across Los Angeles. These clinics, along with two parent/coach workshops led by the Center for Healing and Justice through Sport (CHJS), aim to foster a supportive environment for girls’ basketball. The Clippers also released the Grow Her Game girls coaching guide, a comprehensive resource developed in collaboration with CHJS. This guide, tailored for Jr. Clippers coaches across Southern California, focuses on best practices for coaching girls in the sport.
Looking ahead, the Clippers have an exciting Grow Her Game 8-week leadership academy planned for the Spring in collaboration with GPLA and PeacePlayers Los Angeles. This initiative aims not only to develop basketball skills but also to nurture leadership qualities and build confidence among participants.

November 18th Event
This past weekend, the Jr. Clippers program partnered with Girls Play LA and Peace Players LA to celebrate the launch of Grow Her Game presented by CarMax. The day included a skills clinic, confidence building activities, giveaways, a panel, and a surprise visit from former Clipper Craig Smith.
“We were excited to have our daughter Madison (11) participate in the Jr. Clippers Grow Her Game Initiative. We enjoy the peace building activities that the Jr. Clippers program offers. They promote inclusiveness, cooperation, respect, appropriate competition, and kindness. Even though there were set skill building stations, it was clear that the coaches adjusted to meet the needs/level of each set of girls. Overall, we thought that the event was a great motivational and basketball skills event for the girls. Thanks for the inspiring story from Craig Smith and the cool jersey DIY art activity. Thank you for this empowering opportunity for these beautiful and talented young girls.”
