Winter Season: Jan 5-March 8 (not Feb 15-20)

For our older players, our In-House Leagues are a non-tryout, player-development program coached by Ballard Basketball staff. Our primary goal is to ensure that every player has a fair, positive, and enjoyable experience throughout the season.

Players may choose to attend weekly training/s with their league to work on fundamental skills and one game each week to learn in-game situations and team concepts. Depending on league numbers, we form 2–6 teams. All players receive equal playing time.

There are no set positions or set plays. Instead, we emphasize spacing, decision-making, and read-and-react actions. Coaches actively facilitate an equal distribution of roles and responsibilities so every player can grow and contribute.

Our In-House Leagues are a great fit for players who:

Play multiple sports
Want quality coaching without tryouts or long-term commitment
Have a goal of playing on their middle or high school team

We understand busy schedules—it’s okay to miss trainings or games when other activities come up. We also offer scholarships and payment plans so that cost is never a barrier to participation.

We have overlapping grade level league so players can decide which league better supports their growth. For example, a less experienced 5th grader could choose to play in the 3rd-5th league while a more experienced 5th grader could play in the 5th-7th grade league. These leagues are guidelines not strict age-groups. Please contact Sara if you have a question about where to place your player.

Spectators are welcome to enjoy the games by cheering, but not coaching or officiating from the sidelines.

We ask players to commit to their selected training night to help balance gym numbers. If you need to switch training nights occasionally, just let us know—we can usually accommodate.

If you have any questions about registration, please email Sara Wetstone at

Ballard Basketball Academy (BBA) for 5th-HS Girls

Teams: Teams will be formed after the first week of trainings to find the best possible competitive fit for each player. Buddy requests are accepted although we can only guarantee one buddy so we can make the most even teams. Teams will be coached by a primary coach. Teams will have 3 team socials per season.

Cross Club Tournaments and 3 v 3 Tournaments: Each season, we will host or go to a Cross Club tournament with other area Leagues. These are designed to be a fun way to compete against other like-minded clubs and to give our players a chance to compete against other players.

Team Camps: Inspired by my high school coaching days when we would take our team to the Oregon State Team Camp each Summer, this team camp is a 2 day event that will hold games, practices, fun team competitions and other camp games. Adults are going to wish there was a camp like this for them! Dates, location coming soon.

Player Portal: Players can check out videos and information to help them understand the game and how to be a great teammate. This will be a useful resource.

Challenges: Players will have an opportunity to take on various "Challenges" to earn prizes as well as improve their skills and understanding. Categories will include: Shooting, Ball Handling, Essays, Videos and Team Challenges!
