The Wayzata Girls Basketball Association (WGBA) offers a Rec Basketball Program for 2nd-12th grade girls providing skill development, competition, team building, and fun! This program is designed around players who are new to the sport or those who bring years of experience but are looking for a opportunity that is less of a time commitment than our travel basketball program offers. 

Aligned with WGBA’s mission to foster basketball development for girls across the Wayzata School District, our rec program supports in-season play while also creating pathways to long-term growth and a deeper connection to the WGBA Travel & Wayzata High School Girls Basketball Program.
