style of play

Columbia Women’s Basketball plays an up-tempo, free-flowing style built around multiple decision-makers on the floor. Our offense is rooted in concepts and spacing, empowering players to make smart, instinctive reads. On the defensive end, we pride ourselves on being disruptive at the point of attack and relentless on the glass, limiting second-chance opportunities through aggressive rebounding pursuit.
