New Girls Sunday Shootaround
A fun atmosphere where girls, grades 3-6, can maintain their basketball skills and connect with other girls who enjoy the sport during the off-season. All experience levels are welcome. We will hold 16 sessions at Ridgely Middle School (8 spring and 8 fall). Sessions will be held on Sunday afternoons and will consist of 45 minutes of drills and training followed by 45 minutes of pick-up-style games. This program is intended to be a low-cost, low-commitment experience to allow athletes to participate in other activities.
Registration/Cost:
Registration will open in January and remain open until all spots are filled. The registration fee is $50.00, one-time, for both spring and fall. Refunds will be allowed only for extraordinary circumstances such as changes in health, relocation of residence, etc., and will be subject to a $20.00 administrative fee.
The participant’s age is determined by their grade in the Spring. For example, 6th-grade students in the Spring of 2024 may/will still participate in the fall session.
Equipment:
Participants will need to bring their own ball to each session as well as wear non-marking shoes. All baskets will be 10 feet. Pinnies will be provided during gameplay.
Volunteers:
To be successful, this program will require volunteers to help run drills and games. We are also looking for high school students and young adults willing to help. Having older girls around who share enthusiasm for sports will enhance the experience of the participants and help foster a community of strong female athletes. This program has been pre-approved by several area schools for Service Learning Credit.
