The real work happens off the court. Before last week’s games, we chopped it up with some of the players to check in on their mental.

The youth need people that they can comfortably vent to without judgement. We’re trying to create that space and let them know we’re family and more than basketball 🤞🏽

Let’s keep creating safe spaces for the kids in this city. They’re the future!

Sometimes it’s the little things that are the big things.

A smile. An embrace. A good laugh. Encouraging words. Some positive energy can change your whole day.

Yesterday, some of our players took part in the Brooklyn Peace League Program at the Cultural Arts Academy Center.

They participated in several drills to help the youth improve their basketball skills while also discussing how to establish good habits and build consistency!

25 years of using basketball to bring young people together across lines of division.

Last Thursday, we marked our 25th anniversary celebrating some of our alums whose journey show what that work builds over time. Neta, Duha and Jinan met as teammates in our Israel and West Bank program. Their friendship has held through war, loss and deepening division. Coach Alona showed what it takes to make that possible. Alesha Smith showed how the same work reaches girls in Brooklyn today. Dana Kaduri shared what the program has meant for her daughters and her family.

This milestone has laid the foundation for what comes next and for us, a key part of that is girls and young women. The PeacePlayers Global Girls Campaign is our three-year effort to remove the barriers that keep girls in communities affected by conflict from sport, leadership and opportunity.

In Year 1, we showed up at tentpole moments in sports to bring the necessary visibility to our effort— NBA All-Star, UNRIVALED and WNBA All-Star. We launched the Candace Parker Academy in Los Angeles, welcomed partners such as AMEX Leadership Academy, @pincusfamilyfoundation , WK Kellogg Foundation, National Women’s Law Center, @wslam.

Year 2 builds toward the Girls Summit, April 8 to 11, 2027 in Chicago, where we are working to bring together girls and coaches from every PeacePlayers site for the first time.

Like Coach said, the goal is always to get better—and there’s more than one way to impact the game. 🏀

PeacePlayers Brooklyn were excited to partner with Nike NYC for a 2nd year to take part in the NY vs NY clinic, bringing together youth from @growourgame and @wegotnext_ny

At the SCI Clinic, our young hoopers worked on their skills, competed with energy, used their voices, and learned how to help their teammates succeed. Coaches brought the message, and the players brought the work!

Thank you to Nike for creating a special day of basketball, learning, and community at Victory Park. Just getting started. 💪🏾
