What is the Program?

The Girls Travel Basketball program is designed to educate and empower confident young ladies through the sport of basketball. We develop and teach all players the same basketball language,  fundamentals, and strategies to build continuity and consistency within each level of the Lady Generals basketball program from 3rd grade to 12th grade. This program is designed for girls who are currently enrolled in 3rd through 6th grade and live in the Anthony Wayne School District.

This program extends from November to February, offers two practices/week, league play, and tournament play. Our coaches use the philosophies from our High School Lady Generals Basketball program to develop the skills necessary to play the game of basketball throughout the season -- dribbling, shooting, rebounding, passing, screening, and defense. Focusing on the fundamentals and strategies, and applying them to a game setting is to prepare them for the organized basketball that continues into 7th grade.
