NEW: Grade 6–7–8 Girls Development Division

To support retention and provide more opportunities for female athletes, we are piloting a new program format this spring.

What’s Changing?

Former Grade 6/7 girls development teams will now become:

Grade 6–7–8 Girls Development Teams

Why This Change?

Previously, Grade 8 girls only had the option to register for competitive teams. This change allows:

• Grade 8 girls who are new to basketball

• Grade 8 girls who prefer not to compete at a competitive level

…to participate in a development-focused division.

Practices & Games

• One 1-hour weekly team practice

• Friday games

• Doubleheaders may be scheduled if required to ensure all teams play weekly

• 
  

Coaching Opportunities

We are currently seeking volunteer coaches for this division.

If you are interested in coaching, please contact our Coach Coordinator.

Players may register on the waitlist at no cost. Families will be notified once a volunteer coach is secured.
