I was small… really small. I was always teased…

and I was always bullied. But all my life I had

only one dream… to play basketball…

"Small Ball" is a powerful and uplifting family drama that delves deep into the heart of a young girl's battle to defy bullies and chase her seemingly unattainable dream. Capitalizing on Caitlyn Clark's rise to superstardom in Women's basketball, interest in youth sports programs is skyrocketing, especially girls' sports. The timing of this film will take advantage of this "Caitlyn Clark Effect" and appeal to the millions of families with pre-teens and teens in youth sports.

 

Faith's journey towards self-discovery and resilience is fueled by the unwavering support of her friends, the wisdom of her coach, and the inspiration she draws from her NCAA hero, Caitlin Clark. This narrative is a testament to the indomitable spirit of perseverance and the transformative power of believing in oneself.
