Empowering Girls Through Basketball: The Divas Story

Divas Basketball is an organization dedicated to helping young women in the Greater Dallas-Fort Worth area achieve their goals in higher education and in the sport of basketball.

The primary focus is around individual development, team work, and leadership skills. This is achieved through physical conditioning, active mental preparation, and exposure to difficult situations to increase critical thinking.

Although most teams measure success through wins and trophies, we measure success through smiles, success in the classroom, and interpersonal relationships.
