Basketball Options for Girls in Grades 1-8

All Minnetonka girls wishing to play basketball have two options in which they can participate: recreational basketball or travel basketball.

Girls Travel Basketball - Grades 3-8

The Minnetonka Girls Traveling Basketball program is sponsored by the Minnetonka Girls Basketball Association. For the more serious athlete, consider joining travel basketball for more competitive play in an environment that fosters good sportsmanship, self confidence and fun. At all levels, focus is on player and team skill development, and enjoyment of the game.  Girls practice twice weekly (90 min) and participate in 8-10 weekend tournaments October through March.
 
Eligibility for Players: 

Eligibility to play is based on grade, not age. Athletes must try out and compete with the travel association within the community where they reside or attend school.  Exception: In situations involving “split families,” the athlete may participate with the association closest to the mother’s or father’s residence.  If there is not a travel association within the community where the athlete resides or attends school, or if the athlete has been cut or restricted from the association, they may participate with a bordering association.

 
Girls Recreational Basketball - Grades 1-8

Rec basketball is sponsored by Minnetonka Community Ed and is open to girls in grades 1-8.  The season runs from November through early March and teams typically practice one hour per week and have one game per weekend. Minnetonka Rec Basketball offers a fun, safe, recreational basketball program for players. More information at www.minnetonkacommunityed.org
