🏀 NEW THIS WINTER: GIRLS 1st–2nd GRADE 3v3 BASKETBALL!

We’re excited to launch a new girls-only 3v3 basketball program focused on fundamentals, teamwork, confidence, sportsmanship, and FUN!

Our goal is to increase girls’ participation in sports and create positive experiences that keep girls engaged in athletics.

Registration is now open!

Girls can:
• Play in the Girls 3v3 program
• Play in the co-ed 5v5 program
• Participate in both
