ABOUT THE STORM

The California Storm Basketball Club was founded in 1997 and since 1998 has been one of 20 elite Nike-sponsored club basketball programs in the United States.

In 2007, the Storm was one of just 16 teams to receive an automatic bid to Nike Nationals in North Augusta, South Carolina, the most prestigious and exclusive travel team tournament in the nation.

Along with Nike Nationals, the Storm compete in the most competitive club basketball events in the country, including the Boo Williams Invitational (Hampton, VA); the End of the Trail (Oregon City, OR); the Summer Slam (New York, NY); and the Nike Summer Showcase (Chicago, IL).

The Storm also make an annual, week-long trip to Honolulu, Hawaii where the club co-sponsors the Island Classic with the City of Honolulu.

Storm alumni include active WNBA players Alana Beard and Iciss Tillis (both first round draft picks out of Duke University) as well as dozens of current and former NCAA Division I stars.

Storm players in the Class 2008 who have already made verbal commitments to play at Division I schools include Alyssia Brewer (6-3 G/F, Sapulpa, OK) to the University of Tennessee; Michelle Jenkins (6-3 F, Beaverton, OR) to the University of Southern California; Casey Morris (5-9 G, Piedmont, CA) to Cal; and Alex Carbonel (5-6 G, Fremont, CA) to St. Mary's.
