SGBA Basketball Programs

SGBA Basketball Programs Overview

We strive to live the mission of the SGBA by providing basketball programs for all girls interested in playing the game of basketball. We offer three programs: Travel, Development, and Community (GRBL).

Our programs are designed to provide options for all girls to play the sport. Our Development program provide an opportunity girl as young as 1st grade to learn fundamental skills of the game as they compete in 3v3 scrimmages. Our Travel program has made some changes in 2025, align with trends across the state to start at 3rd grade.

As our new High School Coach Alex Davis has joined our community, we have made an effort to simple our programs while centered around living the mission of the SGBA while still providing opportunities for all girls to play basketball. Any athlete with the goal of playing high school basketball in the future is recommended to participate in our travel program.
