About
Our Mission, is to provide opportunities for Women to play Basketball recreationally and competitively as adults.
Founded in 2015, in the Bay Area, CA, Women's All B-Ball (WABB) currently focuses on providing opportunities for Women to play Basketball as adults. Pick Up Games, 3 on 3 Tournaments and League Play are our current offerings. All Women and all skill levels are welcome - the average player has usually played Basketball through High School.
The Story: Founders Rita Forte & Amanda Lesky met in 2014. Entrepreneurs at their core (Rita owns The Olive Street Agency & Amanda The Food Education Project), they soon became friends after realizing they also both own a small breed dog (Butters & Frodo) and love Basketball! It was attending a Golden State Warriors Game together in 2014 that brought up the basketball topic between the two. They found out they both played basketball growing up through high school, and love the game. Rita & Amanda discussed how they had been missing playing pick up basketball as adults after they graduated college in 2003. They could never find a consistent place where Women could play against Women. Within a few months, Women's All B-Ball was formed with Monthly Pick Up games beginning in January 2015 in San Francisco, CA and a 3 on 3 Tournament that summer in Berkeley, CA.
