Fort Lauderdale, FL – August 23, 2025 — Florida Nation Basketball is proud to announce a major milestone in the evolution of South Florida girls’ basketball: Bad Girls Basketball has officially merged with Florida Nation Basketball.
For the past eight years, Bad Girls Basketball has been one of the most respected and proven programs in South Florida, known for developing talent, building strong culture, and competing at the national level. With a track record of success and athletes who consistently shine on big stages, the program has earned a reputation as a leader in grassroots basketball.
Now, by joining forces with Florida Nation Basketball, this legacy enters a powerful new chapter.
What This Merger Means for Athletes & Families
- Same Trusted Coaches — Athletes will continue to train under the same dedicated staff they’ve grown with, ensuring consistency and trust.
- Same Culture & Values — The competitive, family-first culture that made Bad Girls Basketball a household name remains intact.
- New Resources & Exposure — With Florida Nation’s media platform, recruiting tools, and national network, players will now gain even more visibility and opportunities at the highest levels.
“This move isn’t about changing who we are — it’s about elevating what we’ve built,” said Kevin Gordon, Florida Nation Program Director. “Together, we’re building the future of the game.”
Why This Partnership Matters

Commitment to Families
Florida Nation and Bad Girls Basketball understand that transitions raise questions.
