Investing in Girls. Expanding possibility.

At 88 Solez, we believe every girl deserves the opportunity to thrive. Through the power of basketball, we remove barriers, nurture the whole girl basketball player, and create experiences that build confidence, leadership, resilience, and lifelong opportunity.

    Signature Experience

    The 88 Solez Beyond Tour: Dawn Staley Basketball Experience

    Each year, 88 Solez strives to arrange a trip for girls and a parent or guardian to attend the Dawn Staley Basketball Camp at the University of South Carolina, departing from Philadelphia.

    This experience encompasses deluxe motor coach transportation, hotel accommodations, team-building exercises, networking opportunities for parents, and participation in one of the nation's leading girls' basketball camps.

    For numerous participants, this will be their first visit to a major university campus outside of Philadelphia, traveling with peers and gaining insights from one of the most esteemed leaders in women's basketball.

    The objectives extend well beyond basketball; they aim to broaden horizons, inspire new possibilities, and create lasting memories.

    "From local courts to global impact."

Our why

Girls athletes frequently face challenges related to pressure, identity, confidence, and visibility, often lacking the necessary support. 88 Solez establishes spaces where girls feel acknowledged, heard, supported, and empowered throughout their athletic journey.

Work With Us

Talent Is Everywhere. Access Is Not.

Too many girls are forced to step away from the game, not because they lack ability, but because they lack access.

When we remove those barriers, we build confidence, identity, and long-term opportunity.
