Summary & History

Coach Lila is a dedicated athlete and leader with a strong background in competitive basketball and youth coaching. As a 3-year varsity starter, 2-year captain, and multi-sport athlete, she brings high-level skill, communication, and on-court leadership to every environment she coaches in. Lila is passionate about helping young athletes grow with confidence while building strong fundamentals and a love for the game.

"Sports are about more than competition—they build confidence, discipline, and character. Coaching gives me the chance to pass on the lessons basketball has taught me: hard work, communication, and playing with purpose. I strive to create an environment where every athlete feels supported, challenged, and inspired to grow both on and off the court.”
