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 grades K – 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 Mite Program, grades K – 2.
Volunteers:
For our basketball program, volunteers are needed as coaches, assistant coaches, scorekeepers, and more. We expect that all families volunteer in some way in our program. Indicate in signups if you would like to coach, we will provide training to all coaches!
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 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!

Mites Level Basketball – K – 2nd Grades
Age Group K - 2nd grade boys and girls.
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 the group to their basket and works on the lesson for 5 - 10 minutes. As the groups are learning, the instructor walks around to see if they need any help. This is a program of building fundamentals, no games or scrimmages are played.
The process continues for 60 minutes.
Game Fundamentals Athletes will be focused on 60 minutes of drill instruction, basic skill development, and FUN competition focused on passing, dribbling, shooting, layups, etc. Our emphasis at this level is to prepare the Bloomington youth ready to go to higher levels of 5 on 5 plays. There are not games or scrimmages in this program, it is learning and skill-building. After the first couple of weeks, we will work toward having scrimmages as the season progresses for the last 15-20 minutes of the session.
