December Players of the Month: Annie Gordon & Aarav Pillai

At Evolution Basketball, we’re committed to celebrating athletes who embody effort, growth, and a genuine love for the game. This month, we’re recognizing two standouts who continue to raise the standard in their training groups. Congratulations to Advanced Training athlete Annie Gordon and Fundamental Training athlete Aarav Pillai.

🏀 Annie Gordon – Advanced Training

Annie joined Evolution two years ago with a basic understanding of the game but an unmatched level of heart. Since day one, she has listened with intent, competed with purpose, and supported her teammates with enthusiasm. The growth in her game has been undeniable. Annie is now one of only two seventh graders to earn a spot on her varsity middle school team, a milestone that reflects her dedication and passion.

Her obsession with the game extends beyond the court. Annie follows women’s basketball closely and can talk through any WNBA news or matchup with excitement. She is truly a joy to coach, and her work ethic continues to set the tone in every Advanced session she attends.

🏀 Aarav Pillai – Fundamental Training

Aarav is the type of player every trainer loves to work with. He shows up with the right attitude, leads with positivity, and never loses sight of making the game fun. His development over time has been incredible to watch. Whether he’s learning new skills or reinforcing the fundamentals, Aarav approaches every drill with focus and enthusiasm.

This recognition is well deserved. Aarav has earned his place as Player of the Month through consistency, effort, and a genuine commitment to improving every time he steps on the floor.

Athletes like Annie and Aarav remind us what’s possible when passion meets consistency. Their progress is the result of daily habits, great energy, and a willingness to be coached.
