Through education, organizing and programming, Her Game endeavors to remove barriers and create opportunities for girls and women to live out self-determined lives within the realm of sports. The broad strokes objective of Her Game is to strengthen the leadership, power and voices of girls and women from a marginalized and underserved state to one that is not only heard and appeased but respected and realized.

Our participants featured Brooklyn Shamblin (USC Commit) and Me'Arah O'Neal (the daughter of NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal), along with other high profile players from top AAU programs such as Cali Storm (Diana Taurasi's Team), Cal Sparks, and Why Not Premier (Russell Westbrooks's Team), Sports Academy Swish GBL (Jordin Canada's Team), etc.

"A Trailblazer in the “women in sports” movement! “Her Game” has played an integral role in the evolution of my young daughters Lily-Rose‘s basketball journey. For my daughter, being part of a great organization like this, surrounded by like minded, strong, confident, female athletes, has nurtured these same qualities within herself. Founder of Her Game Dez is deeply invested in all the girls in her program, the chemistry and fondness the girls in the program have for each other is evidence of this!" - Jose (Parent)
