4 roles
(East/Southeast Asian or Vietnamese preferred, athletic ability preferred) – LEAD Justin is quiet, determined, and stubborn in the way only teenagers can be. He keeps most things to himself, but when he cares about something, he gives everything he has. On the basketball court, he plays with confidence –even when it means trying to do everything himself.
SUPPORTING Since losing her oldest son, she finds comfort in routine and control. If something is out of place, she fixes it. If there is laundry to fold, she folds it. If there is food to make, she makes enough for everyone. Keeping busy has become the only way she knows how to keep going.
SUPPORTING Direct, demanding, and deeply invested in his players. Coach Jack pushes Justin because he believes in him, even when Justin struggles to believe in himself. Beneath the tough coaching exterior is someone who genuinely cares.
SUPPORTING Philip doesn't like conflict. He's patient, dependable, and usually the one trying to smooth things over at the dinner table. He sees the distance growing between his wife and younger son, but doesn't always know what to say to either of them.
