Dribbling down Barriers is a basketball clinic hosted by Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir who is the first Hijabi to play Divsion 1 collegiate basketball. The clinic focuses on teaching kids basic fundamentals of basketball, dribbling/shooting competitions, and 5 on 5 play.

However, this clinic is more than just teaching basketball, it also focuses on how to use use sport as a tool to break stereotypes, educate, and fight against discrimination in all areas. At the end of the clinic, Bilqis will share her personal narrative on how she chose Islam over basketball when she was barred from playing professional basketball due to hijab.
