Meet la Monkey: it's not women's basketball, it's basketball
The Howler movement grows: alongside el Monkey, here comes la Monkey. Because grassroots women's basketball deserves the same stand, the same noise and the same respect. It's not women's basketball: it's basketball.
In the beginning there was the Monkey: cap backwards, megaphone, attitude. Well, the family’s growing. Meet la Monkey —same energy, same howl, same stand. And it’s no small thing: it’s the movement’s statement of intent. Because what drives us is grassroots women’s basketball, and it was time our face said so, loud and clear.
It’s not women’s basketball. It’s basketball.
We’re putting it in big letters so it lands: it’s not women’s basketball, it’s basketball. Talent, strategy and leadership have no gender. More and more women are leaving their mark on courts and benches, and they deserve exactly what any game gets: a packed stand, the good kind of noise and respect. Not less spotlight, not less voice. The same.
Meet la Monkey
Megaphone in one hand, ball in the other, green-and-black bandana and the look of someone who didn’t come to watch. La Monkey is a player, a stand and a leader. She stands for the girls and women who make this sport great in Badalona —those who play, coach and cheer. Discipline builds freedom; attitude builds legacy.
A pair, one single stand
El Monkey and la Monkey don’t compete: they cheer together. They’re the two faces of one movement that knows nothing of benches or genders, only work, commitment and love for the game. We’re more than a club: we’re family, we’re Howler.
This is where you howl. This is also where you lead.
Because making noise is good, but leading the way is better. That’s la Monkey’s promise (and el Monkey’s): fill the stands for grassroots women’s basketball and treat it as what it is —basketball, the real thing.
Soon you’ll see her everywhere: stickers, memes and plenty of noise. Welcome, Monkey. You’re one of the stand now. This is where you howl —and this is also where you lead.
