Arizona-based Hoop Code is making a significant move in the girls grassroots basketball landscape. After spending just one season on the New Balance Lady P32 circuit, Hoop Code is moving to Select Events’ Power 24, and the program is leaving New Balance after an impressive championship run.

Hoop Code closed the inaugural 2026 Lady P32 season by winning both the 16U and 17U P32 national championships. Lady P32’s official social account confirmed Hoop Code as the 16U champion and later announced the program as the 2026 17U P32 champion, giving Hoop Code two titles at the circuit’s highest age divisions.

The championships came at the Lady P32 National Championships in Chicago, held July 24-27. USJN listed the event as the final stop and national championship for the New Balance Lady P32 League, with brackets determined by the league’s final standings. Hoop Code entered teams in both the 16U and 17U LP32 divisions.

That makes the timing of Hoop Code’s next move particularly noteworthy. Rather than returning to defend those championships in 2027, the program is heading to another major girls basketball platform.

Select Events recently announced Hoop Code’s addition to Power 24, posting, “Welcome to Power 24, @HoopCode.”

One Year With New Balance, Two Championships

The 2026 season was the inaugural season of the girls Lady P32 League. New Balance and USJN had announced the girls expansion the previous year, and the league debuted during the April NCAA evaluation period in Milwaukee. Hoop Code was among the programs competing in the new league from its opening stop.

Hoop Code also brought significant talent into the circuit. At the opening event, NYG Hoops highlighted nationally regarded 2029 guard Kolbi Brooks, who played up with Hoop Code’s 17U team, as well as younger prospects within the organization.

By the end of the summer, that talent translated into championships at both 16U and 17U.

The accomplishment is especially notable because Hoop Code did not spend several seasons building toward a Lady P32 championship. The program joined the new league, competed for one season and finished that season holding two of its three primary high-school-age P32 championships.

Lady P32 also reported that more than 300 college coaches attended each of its three 2026 stops, making Hoop Code’s championship run part of a highly visible first season for the New Balance-backed girls circuit.

Hoop Code Heads to Power 24

Power 24 is part of the Select Events basketball ecosystem alongside Select 40. Select Events says the circuit began in 2022 and operates from April through July. The organization also reports that representatives from every Division I school attended a Select 40/Power 24 league event in 2025, including every power-conference program.

That puts Hoop Code into another national environment built heavily around NCAA evaluation periods and college exposure.

The move is also another example of how fluid the girls grassroots landscape has become. Programs now have several national platforms competing for strong organizations, players and college-coach attention. For established programs, circuit affiliation can change even after successful seasons.

Hoop Code’s situation stands out because there was no competitive downturn preceding the move. The program is changing circuits immediately after reaching the top of Lady P32 at both 16U and 17U.

For New Balance Lady P32, that means losing its reigning champions in its two oldest divisions after the circuit's inaugural season. For Power 24, it means adding an Arizona program arriving with championship momentum and a roster pipeline that has already attracted national recruiting attention.

And for Hoop Code, the first New Balance chapter ultimately lasted only one summer.

It was a short one, but it ended with two championships and a move to Power 24 for what comes next.

Hoop Code’s departure leaves New Balance and Lady P32 with an interesting question after an otherwise promising inaugural season. Is this simply the natural progression of a championship program looking for a different challenge, or does losing the reigning 16U and 17U champions after only one year invite scrutiny about the circuit’s ability to retain its strongest programs? Lady P32 proved it could attract talent, college coaches and meaningful competition in Year 1, and Hoop Code’s two championships are evidence of that. But building a national circuit is about more than attracting quality programs; retaining the programs that succeed within it matters too.

One departure does not define the future of Lady P32, but when the program leaving is simultaneously the champion of its two oldest divisions, the move is significant enough to watch. What New Balance does next, and which programs it attracts or retains for 2027, may tell us much more about whether Hoop Code’s exit was simply the next step for one ambitious program or the first real test for a young circuit still establishing its place in girls grassroots basketball.
