Team sports demand dedication and grit. Many face even more challenges: pressure from parents, lack of self-confidence or weak teamwork. The hijabi baseball team in Hena Khan’s “We Are Big Time” and Elena, the one girl on the basketball team in Pablo Cartaya’s “Curveball,” find how they can love the game and be excellent in and out of sports. Moderated by Neil Greenberg.
