About This Activity
Description
The Girls Junior League gives girls the opportunity to play basketball in a supportive environment that emphasizes fun while focusing on the basic fundamentals. The season begins with skill clinics before the holiday break. In the new year, players will be assigned teams and sessions will be broken into team practices and finish with games.
Season Structure:
- Teams are created and led by Hill House staff and volunteers.
- Every player will be assigned to a team and receive a jersey.
- If enrollment is lower than expected then the season structure may shift to ensure a fun season for smaller teams.
- The season will consist of a regular season schedule of games before ending with a competitive tournament to find our champion!
- As long as the weather permits, our last session will be a fun all-star style celebration where we come together as a league again and play outside our season long teams.
Notes on Awards:Like all Hill House programs this league puts fun first, but it is still competitive. We believe this format helps invest and excite players, while also teaching them what it means to be part of a team. As a result this league does not feature participation trophies, and instead rewards the league champion team and a few individual players across the league with trophies. We use these trophies to celebrate achievement, but more importantly to inspire all the players in the league to keep practicing and working towards the fun goals their peers have reached. We highlight players with great work ethic, sportsmanship, and commitment to improve, because we want to motivate all our players to model those traits and become the best they can be.
