Players included: Lola, Emma, Indie, Mya, Lexie, Alexis, Libby, Chloe, Claire, Hailey, June, and Reyna. The season started in December and ended in March. They had practices twice a week. Practices were at the elementary gym and at the field house.
A favorite practice drill was dribble knockout. The team’s least favorite drill was cone (sliding cones while dribbling a basketball).
