Showstoppers Skills and Drills @ The Dewitt Center

Mondays until March 27th

6:30 pm to 8:00 pm

At The Dewitt Center

122 Dewitt Drive

Roxbury, MA

The Boston Showstoppers is a girls' academic and athletic enrichment program whose mission is to develop elite female student-athletes by offering a highly competitive basketball experience, encouraging and supporting academic excellence, and nurturing a culture of sisterhood, service, and well-being.

Since its founding class of 7 girls in 2007, the Boston Showstoppers continued to prove success is possible in a country where urban educational attainment is declining, and the need for positive after-school programming, higher education resources, and social-emotional health connections for young people is increasing. According to Women's Sports Foundation reports, young girls involved in athletics are less likely to use drugs, consume alcohol, become pregnant, or smoke compared to those who do not participate in sports.
