ABOUT

Jr. Clippers is the LA Clippers’ official youth basketball program, bringing the fun with camps, leagues, clinics, and more! Now with Grow Her Game, our exciting new girls’ basketball initiative presented by CarMax, we’re taking things to the next level. Our mission? To elevate local youth basketball and inspire more girls to join the game!

The platform includes Grow Her Game 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 Fall ’24 and Spring ’25 in collaboration with GPLA and PeacePlayers Los Angeles. This initiative not only develops basketball skills but also nurtures leadership qualities and builds confidence among participants.
