2nd and 3rd Grade Recreational League

Our Grade 2-3 Recreational League program is for girls entering 2nd and 3rd grades.  All girls signing up for this program will participate.  The goal of this program is to develop and improve basic basketball skills and game fundamentals.  We work to foster a spirit of teamwork and sportsmanship. 

The teams are based on grade level, school attendance and play-with request.  Team members practice one night per week and participate in one game per weekend.  The season usually consists of 10 league games and ends with a tournament. 

  • 2nd grade girls play 3-on-3 with an 8 ft hoop height to start the season. Mid-season this will change to 4-on-4 with a 9 ft hoop height.
  • 3rd grade girls play 4-on-4 with a 9 ft hoop height (small court) to start the season. Mid-season this will change to 5-on-5 with 10 ft hoop height and will be full court.

**3rd Grade Parents

The WGBA travel program for 3rd graders happens the latter half of the 2023-24 season.  The travel season will begin at the conclusion of the rec season for third graders, so there is no conflict with the rec schedule. There will be an additional registration for tryouts which will likely occur in December 2023.  If you have any questions, please contact Chad Greenway at chadwgba@gmail.com.
