Team AARI

Day 3 NOLA ♥️

The lights were bright and TEAM AARI answered the call all weekend at the NIKE TOC, EYBL & JR EYBL 🔥🏀

Competing against some of the best talent in the country, our girls showed toughness, heart, growth, and resilience every single game. Proud is an understatement.

Huge THANK YOU to all of our parents and families for trusting us with your daughters and supporting this journey at the highest level. None of this is possible without the sacrifices, commitment, travel, encouragement, and love behind the scenes.

This weekend was bigger than basketball — it was about building confidence, exposure, sisterhood, and preparing these young athletes for the next level.

Kayla Sakalia 🏀🔥

5’7 Guard
Class of 2031

Kayla plays much bigger than her size with a relentless motor and fearless approach to the game. She attacks the boards like a post player, elevates over taller opponents, and brings nonstop energy, toughness, and effort every time she steps on the floor. 💪🏽

She can knock down the 3-point shot, handle the ball in transition like a point guard, and competes for every rebound like it belongs to her. Kayla’s versatility, competitiveness, and contagious energy make her a special young talent with a huge future ahead.

The future is BIG for this young standout. 💯

Demani Silmon 🏀🔥 .hoops

5’6 GuardClass of 2030

A lockdown defender with strength, toughness, and a fearless mindset. Demani never backs down from a defensive challenge and takes pride in competing every possession against whoever is in front of her. 💪🏽

Offensively, she can knock down the 3, create her own shot off the dribble, and elevate for a smooth mid-range jumper. Her game continues to grow because of her hard work, commitment, and consistency every single day.

The potential for this young player is HUGE and the future is bright. 💯

Ayanna Duenas 🏀🔥 .gisel2

5’8 Guard
Class of 2030

A true matchup problem with the versatility to impact the game in every area. Ayanna has the skill set of a guard but finishes strong around the rim like a post player.

She competes defensively against taller players, rebounds consistently, and brings toughness every possession. Offensively, she can knock down the open 3, push the ball in transition, and create problems for defenses with her size and versatility.

A tough competitor with a ton of potential still waiting to be unlocked. The future is bright for this young standout. 💯

Zoya Ahmad 🏀⚡️

5’6 Guard | West Campus High School
Class of 2029

Zoya’s love for the game shows every time she steps on the court. A coachable player with a strong desire to learn, grow, and apply instruction in real time, she continues to elevate her game every opportunity she gets.

She brings toughness, energy, and effort every single time she hits the floor, making an impact with her attitude and competitive spirit. The future is getting brighter and brighter for this young guard. 💯

TEAM AARI 2025

I am excited to announce my teammates and I will be traveling to compete against some of the best high school basketball players in the country! This is a unique opportunity for us to showcase our skills in front of college coaches, which could significantly increase our chances of earning a college scholarship and advancing our basketball careers.

While our parents have already prepaid for our uniforms, tournament fees and organizational fees, we are still in need of funding for training equipment, certain travel expenses as well as overall expenses for the team.

Thank you for considering a donation to make this amazing opportunity possible! Your support means the world to my teammates and I.
