“Our daughter decided to try basketball when she was a freshman. With her lack of experience, she wouldn’t have been able to play much at a larger school. At TJ, she received excellent coaching and a lot of on-court playing time. She realized talent she didn’t know she had, and ended her first season as one of the varsity starters.”
