Kayla Cooper has taken the Dallas Mavericks’ Ballkid program to a whole new level.
While being an aficionado of time management, Kayla explained that her job as a Mavs Ballkid played a major role in her receiving a basketball scholarship at the University of Oklahoma.
Currently a senior on the Plano East High School basketball team, Kayla has been a part of the Mavs Ballkid program since 2017 – when she was in the eighth grade. The lessons learned from the program – from either the Mavs’ summer camps or from being a part of the GEM (Girls Empowered by Mavericks) program – have been integral in Kayla’s life.
