2022 Basketball Tournament BAA & SGBA March 5th
BLOOMINGTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS REQUIRE MASKS FOR ANYONE ENTERING THE BUILDING. The only time masks may be removed is when a player is actively playing the game when the coach is giving instruction (try to maintain social distancing), and the referee is actively refereeing. SPECTATORS MUST WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES.
BAA Girls Basketball Program Overview:
The Bloomington Athletic Association delivers fun, affordable, and safe youth sports experiences, fueled by our passionate volunteers. Our Girls Basketball program provides kids from 1st grade – 12th grade the opportunity to develop in the areas of sportsmanship, teamwork, and strengthening motor skills all while having fun in a family-friendly atmosphere. The program includes Boys in the Mini-Mite Program, grades 1 – 2.
Volunteers:
For our basketball program, volunteers are needed as coaches, assistant coaches, scorekeepers, and more. Check-in at sign-ups or register as a coach online today!
COACHING: As always, we are completely dependent on you as parents to help make this sport the best it can be by volunteering your time as a head coach, assistant coach, scorekeeper, or referee. The Mini-Mites level is referred to as a Basket Coach and there is an Instructor to teach fundamental skills. What better way to be involved with your children than to be a part of their team during the season? Without you, we cannot run this program!

Experience When the players arrive, they gather into groups with their Basket Coaches. The Instructor in their gym calls the players and basket coaches to the middle of the gym and presents a fundamental drill. After that, the Basket Coach takes their group to their basket and work on the lesson for 5 - 10 minutes. As the groups are learning, the instructor walks around to see if they need any help.
The process continues until 7:25. The Basket Coach ensures that the players all get to their parents.
Game Fundamentals Athletes will be focused on 70 minutes of drill instruction, basic skill development, and FUN competition focused on passing, dribbling, shooting, layups, etc. Our emphasis at this level is to get the Bloomington youth ready to go to higher levels of 5 on 5 plays.
