FUTURE OF THE TEAM
To help promote gender equality, the centre would like to start an all girls basketball team because this is the sport the majority of the girls have a passion for and excel in. In the future we would like to see all participants improve their skill level on a better court with better equipment. P.A.Y. would also like to see both girls and boys compete and win in more tournament and league games.
