The Duke Warriors Girls Basketball Team

To my friends and family that know me, know I have a heart and commitment to mentoring our youth and a passion for the game of basketball. As a coach for many years, the two go hand in hand for me. My responsibility as a Coach has been to teach life skills and values that can be used on and off the court. These are critical skills we all need to navigate through life. Our mission is to teach, develop, organize, manage and offer youth players the opportunity to learn and execute the fundamental skills of basketball while instilling life lessons and values such as character, teamwork, discipline, respect and sportsmanship. We push them to be the best version of themselves both on and off the court.

My heart and commitment to our youth and passion for the game of basketball helped birth The Duke Warriors Project, LLC. The Duke Warriors Project, LLC, is focused on Girl's Basketball and mentoring. We currently have a 16U High School Girls Team that plays in several tournaments throughout the spring and summer sessions. Since our girls have entered High School, we know we have to travel for them to get the exposure they need for College recruitment opportunities.

Funding teams are complex, time-consuming, and expensive endeavors. This online campaign will assist in offsetting out-of-state travel costs, NCAA sanctioned tournaments and rental fees for the practice facility. Tournaments cost between $250 to $500.\ per weekend. My goal is to offset the cost of playing spring/summer AAU basketball for these girls and their families. All coaches volunteer their time to work with the girls. All proceeds will go to travel fees, tournaments, gym rental, and equipment.

We have competed in 3 tournaments thus far this Spring and have earned the Championship Title in all 3!!! So it's time to take it up a notch! Any size donation will be appreciated and will not go unnoticed.

Thank you for considering our fundraiser, and thank you for your support!
