WNBA standout and St. Thomas native Aliyah Boston is set to inspire the next generation of athletes at her 2026 Girls Basketball Clinic Saturday.
Hosted at the Mark C. Marin Center at Antilles School, the clinic serves as a premier opportunity for local youth to learn from one of the most dominant forces in professional basketball, according to a press release announcing the event.
The Aliyah Boston Foundation, with a mission to empower young women through sport, will offer two high-energy sessions tailored to different age groups:
- Morning session (9 to 11:30 a.m.): Open to girls in fourth through eighth grade.
- Afternoon session (12:30 to 3:30 p.m.): Open to girls in ninth through 12th grade.
“I am so excited to be back home on the court where it all started,” said Boston. “Building confidence and community through basketball is something I am incredibly passionate about, and I can’t wait to see the talent and heart these girls bring to the clinic this year.”
Registration for the event saw overwhelming community support, reaching its 100-attendee limit shortly after opening.
