MEET COACH ALI
Born and raised in the Bay Area. Coach Ali has loved the game since a young age. In 2006, she was recruited to play at the University of Redlands (NCAA DIII). She currently holds the following career records: 3-pointers made (225), 3-point % (.405), and games played (104). However, there are many ballers approaching her records and she is rooting for them!
She has been a varsity girls head coach for 10 seasons.
Coach Ali is passionate about teaching and mentoring girls as they work to become great in this game. Coach Ali believes all players have the potential to become great with consistent effort on the right things, quality coaches and mentors, accountability and belonging to an encouraging community.
Coach Ali always teaches girls that who they are is more important than what they can do.
Be an absolute baller, yes. But also, be a good person.
Coach Ali is passionate about helping girls become great on and off the court.

Prior to joining Bueno Basketball in the summer 2021, my daughter was on the bench a lot and was always in the shadow of good players. Coach Ali positively pushed my daughter, and she is more comfortable in taking a leading role and plays basketball with confidence now. Coach Ali truly cares about young athletes' well being not just as a player but as a person. With Coach Ali, your daughter will learn that the hard work pays off and can actually be fun! She has such an uplifting personality and communication with her is always pleasant. She is genuine, sweet and a great leader whom players and parents look up to. Bueno Basketball was like one big family. If you are looking for a coach who can bring your daughter to the next level, look no further. If you want to enjoy basketball as a family, I highly recommend Bueno Basketball Academy.

Bueno Basketball Academy, and Coach Ali, rejuvenated the love of basketball in my daughter. Coach Ali saw my daughter's potential and coached her towards that potential, rather than only viewing my daughter's basketball IQ through the lens of her current skill-level. My daughter's basketball skills improved greatly working with Coach Ali 2:1 and through the program's sports performance training. Those opportunities were evident on the the court and in the team's successes. Coach Ali also brings a holistic approach to coaching. By working with the girls in small group settings to set and achieve goals, journal their experiences, form healthy nutrition habits, and support mental-wellness, the girls' success on the court was accelerated, especially as a brand new team. While it was a bit of risk to move to a new basketball club, it is one that has more than paid off for my daughter and we are so thankful that Coach Ali created a unique basketball club for girls that focuses on their whole being through exceptional basketball.

I feel that coaches can be very influential in a child’s life and I think you created an environment where the girls felt empowered and encouraged to grow on and off the court - I can recall times I overheard you speak to the girls about doing the right thing regardless of how the other team reacts - so it wasn’t about just getting the win - you created a culture of trust ! Thank you.

Our daughter loves playing for Coach Ali. Her skills and basketball IQ have developed under Ali's coaching, but most importantly, her love for the game and her character as a player and teammate have deepened. Ali has a gift for developing young female ball players. Our family is so grateful for her investment in our daughter!

As per my experience to other AAU teams, this team is the BEST team that my daughter has joined. This team is not only a team but also like a family, girls are bonded together and also the parents. I will highly recommend this team.
