Midweek mentality: Relentless. Resilient. Ready.

Team L.E.A.D.E.R.S. doesn’t just play—we set the standard. Against the Wolfpack & Just Respect, we brought the energy, the heart, and the fight.

They say they’re like us… but they’re NOT like us. 😤🎶🔥

#ThankfulThursday✨🏀

A huge THANK YOU to @donsathletics, the @chase_center and the Wildcats for an unforgettable halftime experience! Our #Aema L.E.A.D.E.R.S. development team showed what sets us apart—playing basketball the right way. In a grassroots scene often dominated by flashy highlights, we focus on teamwork, fundamentals, and high IQ basketball.

We’re bringing a different brand of basketball to the next generation—one that values selflessness, discipline, and leadership on and off the court.

It’s refreshing for families who see the bigger picture, and we’re excited for more to join this movement!
