Each year a group of female basketball players are
selected and assembled to form the Courtney S. Crooms (or CSC)
team. These girls suit up and run the floor in Courtney's honor
and compete as part of the annual tournament that bears her
name. The team's colors are blue, black and white; the colors of
the team and university (Duke Lady Blue Devils) where Courtney
desired to play and attend. Head Coach TaShanda Howard ensures
that each player is familiar with Courtney and her love for the
game. A reminder that they are playing for a cause; a cause that
reinforces and continues Courtney's vision of changing the game
for female athletes. Players are also held to the same academic
and civic standards as our grantees.
