At Arcadia Youth Basketball, we believe in championing all of our athletes, and we recognize that our female athletes are often most successful when they are coached together and AYB is taking concrete steps to support the young girls in programs. Arcadia Youth Basketball is proud to launch AdmiHER, the only all-girls youth basketball program in Arcadia! AdmiHER was established with a mission to support the growth of girls’ basketball through coaching, mentorship, and health and wellness programming.
Who Can Play?
AdmiHer is designed for girls, ages kindergarten through 5th grade. The programs include both introductory and developmental levels and are open to any skill level. No experience is necessary, and we also welcome young women excited for real competition.

AdmiHER is a great way for girls to learn fundamentals together in a fun innovative environment from some of the best coaches in the business.
