Founded in 2017 O-Zone Basketball is a competitive basketball program that is dedicated to developing youth and high school girls. O-Zone basketball teams compete in both local tournaments and showcases, as well as in the National recruiting tournament circuit. O-Zone basketball players are some of the most skilled, fearless, and humble student athletes in New England.

The primary goal of O-Zone basketball is to develop youth and high school girls to be skilled and confident players. We roster teams between grades 4 through High School. We stress the importance of teamplay, commitment, hard work, and sportsmanship. We encourage multi-sport athletes, excellence in the classroom, and leadership in the community from our players. Our coaches are role models for girls and help them to instill self-confidence and values both on and off the court. They work to provide our players a positive experience and focus on all around development to make our girls well rounded.
