Day 1. We’re underway at Hoop City

Larita Academy 2026 kicked off today with a room full of energy, intent and opportunity.

A big thank you to our coaches who showed up with openness, vulnerability and real stories to share

To our 11 youth partners, thank you for backing your young people, your support makes this possible.

And most of all, to the young people in the room.

You applied for a scholarship, showed up, and stepped into something new. That takes real courage. Today was just the start.

To everyone behind the scenes, support crew, partners and team, you know who you are, thank you for making Day 1 happen.

Here’s to an epic LA 2026.
