Several members of the LADY STORM basketball team met to participate in a baking party and to write holiday greeting cards to our wounded warriors. This was a nice event allowing our girls to get together for a great cause. In addition to the goodwill generated by creating the cards, the bake off was a success, providing the girls with lots of laughs and goodies while they wrote to the soldiers. All of the cards will be sent to the troops in hopes of brightening their day and reminding them ...
The LADY STORM Basketball teams went on a field trip to Florida International University to see the FIU Golden Panthers play the Nova Southeastern University Sharks in a women's basketball exhibition game. As guests of the Golden Panthers, the LADY STORM brought a cast of 20 to what turned out to be a wonderful evening for our girls. Our players and coaches got to see some great basketball by both teams and spend a little quality time bonding with each other. At the conclusion of the game, both FIU and NSU players talked with our girls and took photographs. The college players were fantastic, spending a lot of time with our kids, answering some great questions and having a few laughs together. The LADY STORM will be planning many more field trips, but we will definitely schedule some more outings to see the FIU and NSU teams play. The women players on both of these teams are class acts and we really appreciated the invite and friendship to our players!
Also, the LADY STORM sends out a special get well to Stephanie Sarosi and hopes that all is better soon!
History was made in November for the LADY STORM as our first sixth grade team was fielded in the Ron

sixth grade preseason tournament which took place at the David Posnack JCC. Our girls had a good showing, winning two of the three games. They
showed lots of fight even though two of the games were played back-to-back. All of teams who entered the tournament did a great job making the

On February 21st, the LADY STORM basketball team (7th grade) hosted their first scrimmage game against the Lady Lightning basketball team (8th grade) in Pembroke Pines. The Lightning fielded a good team, full of speed and experience. The game was intense, resembling more that of a tournament game than a informal scrimmage. The Lightning were great sports and arrangements were made to play another game.
With both teams sharpening their game skills, it will be interesting to see these two teams match up in future. After a great game, LADY STORM players remarked how nice it was to see old friends and to make many new ones. Our thanks go out to the staff, parents and players, and as the Lightning are not in our official tournament age bracket...........Go get'm Lightning!!
On February 15th, the LADY STORM basketball team had the pleasure of attending a pre-season tournament sponsored by the South Florida Lady Jaguar basketball organization. The event brought together South Florida women's travel basketball teams for a day of fun and scrimmage games under tournament like conditions. The venue was the basketball gym at Cypress Bay High School, a new school located in West Broward County (Southwest Ranches). The gymnasium was outstanding and well suited to such a large event. The tournament was extremely well run and a credit to the South Florida Lady Jags ...<< MORE >>
Now this may sound like a half hearted attempt at personal advertisement, because I am by profession a basketball trainer, but the truth of the matter is that I believe all kids NEED some type of personal instruction whether from a trainer, coach, or otherwise. The only alternative to learn the correct way to play the game is through trial and error, and that could take a player many years to learn skills that would have only taken them minutes to ...<< MORE >>
