* Our goal is to find the right fit for each player, so your coach may suggest that your player move to a different hour if possible.
For our littlest ballers, we make 4 teams of 6-7players coached by our high school coaches who are invested in player development and having fun! Coaches lead five 5-minute skill drills to teach the fundamentals of dribbling, jump stop/pivoting, passing, shooting and defense! Then, we play a 20-30 minute scrimmage to learn the rules of the game and have fun competing and being good teammates. We don't keep score so the emphasis remains on learning.
All players play equally. There are no positions or plays. Coaches facilitate an equal distribution of roles and teach the joy of teamwork and sportsmanship.
Spectators are welcome to enjoy the games by cheering, but not reffing. or coaching from the sidelines.

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 and enjoyable experience throughout the season.
Players attend one training each week with their league to work on fundamental and team concepts, Players also have one game each week with their team to learn in-games situations. Depending on numbers in the league, we create 2-4 teams. All players play equal time. There are no set positions or plays, although we will focus on spacing and actions. Coaches facilitate an equal distribution of roles.
* In June, July and August- sessions are half training and half scrimmage.
Our leagues are great for players who play multiple sports and those who are building their skills.
It's ok to miss trainings or games if you have other activities that come up. We also have scholarships and payment plans, so that fees are not a barrier to participation.
Spectators are welcome to enjoy the games by cheering, but not reffing. or coaching from the sidelines.
We'd like each player to stick with their choice of training nights, so we don't have more than 20 players in each training. If, however, you need to move to another training night from time to time, let us know so and we usually can accommodate you.
If you have any questions about the registration, please email Sara Wetstone at ballardbasketballinfo@gmail.com
