Heritage Christian alum Kelly Faris returned to Indiana this summer for WNBA All-Star Weekend, not as a player, but as a coach for the Basketball Without Borders camp at the University of Indianapolis.

The camp brought together top high school prospects from around the world, giving them the opportunity to learn from current and former WNBA players. For Kelly, it was a chance to give back to the game that’s taken her from Heritage to the University of Connecticut, the WNBA, and professional teams overseas.

“It’s very important,” Faris told ClutchPoints. “I think any chance where we have an opportunity to give back and help, it’s extremely important.”
