Updated: September 15, 2025 2 min read CTD Sports Foundation

CTD Sports Foundation today announced an expanded slate of free fall clinics for girls as part of the Her Time To Play initiative, a skills, leadership, and wellness program that empowers young athletes on and off the court. The fall series will offer age-appropriate instruction, mentorship from experienced coaches, and character-building workshops focused on teamwork, confidence, and classroom success.

What Participants Can Expect

  • Skill Development: Ball handling, footwork, finishing, shooting, and game IQ
  • Leadership & Wellness: Growth mindset, communication, and healthy habits
  • Safe, Inclusive Environment: For girls ages 8–17, all experience levels welcome
  • Scholarship Access: Participation is free; limited spots are available

“Our wins are measured in character, not just scoreboards,” said Victor Arroyo, Co-Founder and Executive Director. “These clinics give girls a place to grow their skills, build confidence, and discover what’s possible when they believe in themselves and each other.”

“Every drill is a chance to build habits that last beyond the game,” added Dante Batson-Griggs Sr., Co-Founder and Director of Sports Programming. “We’re excited to welcome new athletes this fall and continue investing in their futures.”
