Girls House League
 
The girls’ house league program welcomes girls from ages 8 to 18. The goals of the program are to encourage skills development, teamwork, good sportsmanship and FUN. The philosophy of girls’ house league is equal playing time for all players.
 
Over 300 girls competed across four age groups in the 2007-2008 season.  The teams were ably coached by our volunteers, demonstrating good teamwork and competitive fun.  We would like to thank all coaches, league convenors as well as site convenors.
 
This season (2008-2009) we offer girls house league programs in the following age groups:

Season Play:
The house league program runs Saturdays from early-Oct 2008 to early-Feb 2009.  For the first two weeks we plan to offer a "Skills and Drills" Clinic at each girls house league division. The regular season schedule commences in mid/late-Oct.  Games are one hour in duration preceded by a thirty minute skills and drills session with the coaches prior to the game. 
 
Stephen Eisen Award
In order to honour Stephen Eisen's special contribution to girls' basketball, a player from each girls' division is awarded a plaque in his memory.  Stephen - a parent and coach - passed away suddenly in November of 2000.   In each division, coaches nominate girls who best exemplified the "inspirational" qualities of enthusiasm, team spirit and love of the game.
