Ladies Hoop 2 Clinic & Showcase

​

Each year during the second week of August, Heavy Hearted Convos hosts the Ladies Hoop 2 Youth Clinic & Showcase — a signature community event designed to empower young women and girls through the power of basketball and intentional mentorship. Now an annual summer tradition, Ladies Hoop 2 brings together young athletes, coaches, mentors, and community supporters for a weekend of skill development, competition, and celebration.

​

The Clinic — Friday

 

The weekend kicks off with a full-day youth clinic open to girls of all skill levels. Participants receive hands-on coaching in fundamental basketball skills including ball handling, shooting, footwork, and defensive positioning. Beyond the X's and O's, the clinic emphasizes confidence-building, teamwork, leadership, and self-expression — values that extend far beyond the basketball court. Each participant leaves with more than improved skills; they leave with a stronger sense of who they are and what they're capable of.

​

The Showcase — Saturday & Sunday

 

The energy carries into the weekend with the Ladies Hoop 2 Showcase — a two-day competitive experience where women put their skills on full display. Teams compete in a structured, supportive environment that celebrates community as much as it celebrates wins. The Showcase is a moment for women to be seen and celebrated.
