South Florida Program Secures Coveted Invitation to Premier National Girls Basketball Platform
SOUTH FLORIDA – Florida Nation Basketball is proud to announce its acceptance into the prestigious New Balance Lady P32 and E32 League circuits, marking a historic milestone for girls’ basketball development in South Florida. The invitation-only platform represents the pinnacle of grassroots basketball competition, providing elite exposure opportunities for high school athletes nationwide.
The Lady P32 and E32 circuits, powered by New Balance, serve as elite platforms for girls’ teams to compete against top talent across North America. Programs selected for these circuits gain unparalleled access to college coaches during NCAA Live Periods and compete in premier venues alongside the nation’s best basketball talent.
“There is something special brewing down in South Beach,” said Chris Mennig, LP32 League National Coordinator and renowned grassroots basketball evaluator. “Florida Nation Basketball is going to have everyone on notice in South Florida sooner than later. Colleges will be remembering this program very soon. This is #TheIntelligentChoice for elite athletes in the region.”
Mennig, who serves as National Evaluator for Blue Star Basketball and has over 27 years of experience in women’s basketball as a former college assistant coach at institutions including the University of Illinois, Arizona State University, Illinois State, and St. Bonaventure, brings significant credibility to the endorsement. His career includes stints on the McDonald’s All-American committee and recognition as one of the most influential figures in grassroots women’s basketball.
Coach Slim, Director of Florida Nation Basketball, expressed enthusiasm about the program’s elevation to the national stage: “This invitation validates the dedication, hard work, and commitment of our athletes, coaching staff, and families. Joining the Lady P32 and E32 circuits positions Florida Nation Basketball among the elite programs in the country. Our athletes will now compete on the same platform as the nation’s top 100 talent, with direct exposure to college coaches at every level – from D1 to NAIA. This is a transformative moment for our program and for girls’ basketball in South Florida.”
The New Balance P32 and E32 circuits have quickly established themselves as premier destinations in grassroots basketball since the brand’s entry into AAU competition. The platform aligns with New Balance’s growing investment in basketball, which includes partnerships with standout talents such as 2025 NBA No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg, NBA All-Star Tyrese Maxey, NBA Champion Jamal Murray, and WNBA standout Cameron Brink.
Florida Nation Basketball teams will compete in multiple cities during NCAA Live Periods, including events in major basketball hubs across the United States. The circuit’s structure provides athletes with:
- Elite Competition: Face-to-face matchups against nationally ranked teams and Top 100 prospects
