FLOW Basketball is more than a basketball team.
We help young players grow on and off the court.
Our program is for girls in grades 6 through 8.
Players will learn basketball skills, teamwork, confidence, and leadership. We want every player to grow in three areas:
Think clearly and stay calm.
Move well and grow strong.
Grow as a kind person.
OUR MAIN GOAL
Our goal is to help young players become strong, kind, and responsible leaders.
Players will learn how to:
THE MIDDLE SCHOOL YEARS
The middle school years are a big time for growth.
Young people begin to make more choices on their own.
They also learn more about who they are and who they want to become.
FLOW gives players a safe place to learn, practice, make mistakes, and grow.
HOW FLOW HELPS PLAYERS GROW
FLOW uses basketball and other healthy activities to teach life skills. The program may include:
All activities should connect back to the same goal:

WHAT DOES “FLOW” MEAN?
The name FLOW comes from the idea of a flow state.
A flow state happens when you are fully focused on what you are doing. You feel calm, confident, and ready. You are not worried about the past or the next play. You are focused on the moment in front of you.
Basketball can help players learn how to enter this state.
At FLOW, players learn to:
These skills do not only help in basketball. They can also help at school, at home, and in life.
“BE WHERE YOUR FEET ARE.”

Coach Clydon created FLOW Basketball because he saw that young players need more than drills and games.
They also need positive coaches, strong role models, and a safe place to grow.
His goal is to help young people in the Rio Grande Valley become better players, better teammates, and better leaders.
He also wants to challenge the idea of the “Valley mindset” that tells young people to think small, fear failure, or believe they must leave home to succeed.
FLOW teaches players that they can grow, lead, and build something meaningful right here in their own community.
“TO HELP YOUNG PLAYERS GROW INTO CALM, CONFIDENT, AND CARING LEADERS
THROUGH BASKETBALL.”
That belief shapes everything we do at FLOW.
