The Story

Naima pushing the ball up the court in transition
In transition · Eagles Basketball

Naima Babb Chaves came to Layton Christian Academy from Costa Rica on a basketball scholarship, and stepped straight into a winning program — helping the Eagles bring home the 2026 3A state championship in her sophomore season.

A guard who plays fast, handles pressure, and has already competed at the international level for her home country.

She's entering her junior year at LCA in the fall of 2026, and continues to build her game on both sides of the border — training and competing with Costa Rica's national team program in the off-season.

Costa Rica

Beyond her season with the Eagles, Naima represents her home country of Costa Rica through ASOHEBA and has been part of the national team selection process — training and competing internationally alongside some of the country's top young players.

That dual experience — high-level high school basketball in the U.S. and international competition for Costa Rica — gives her a game built on both structured team systems and the pace of international play.
