Practices are Mondays 7-9pm at the freshly renovated Glendale Community College gym, located just off the Mountain exit of the 2 freeway.

The Sand Cats club team is comprised of girls currently 6th grade and under for the 2026-2027 school year. Each year the team will grow and advance together into the next age division.

The roster size will remain around 14 players. Try-outs will be held as spots open up. Players of any skill/experience level are welcome to try-out.

Various organizations host weekend tournaments in LA, Orange, and Ventura counties. The Sand Cats aim to participate in 1 of those per month, based on availability of age/skill matchups. Tournaments are formatted to last either 1 day or 2 days.

The Sand Cats are led by Program Director Justin Viar and Coach Lashell Swann. Coach Swann is also Head Coach of North Hollywood High School girls varsity basketball, Assistant Coach for Occidental College’s women’s team, and a former “Coach of the Year” for the CIF LA City Section Division II league.

There are several advantages to choosing a club team program for your daughter’s skill development.

Players stay together as a team over time, which allows for stronger relationships, better chemistry, and a deeper sense of accountability. This continuity helps build confidence, teamwork, and lasting friendships.

Players are developed at their own pace and are not pushed into game situations before they’re ready, helping build confidence and long-term growth.

We also place importance on mindset and effort. Playing time is earned through attitude, growth, and commitment, helping players take ownership of their progress.

Being part of the Sand Cats, players develop pride in representing their community and contributing to a culture they help build together.

Membership is $175 per month plus a one-time registration fee of $35 which includes a personal practice jersey. Membership can be ended anytime with 30 days notice.

To compete in tournaments, you will need to purchase a 4-piece jersey set (1 home color set + 1 away color set) for $150.

Participation in tournaments will also come with a player fee of $25-$60 depending on the tournament host’s pricing and number of participants.

Navigate to our registration page to see the schedule for the next try-outs. When slots open, we invite players in the appropriate age group to come practice with us, be evaluated, and hopefully be invited to the team!

We are looking for more than just skills — we seek respectful and growth-minded individuals who will fit well within our team culture.
