All INFO on the Girls Basketball Program is scheduled to begin, we ask your patience as things are still very fluid due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. All registrations that were completed before January 4th have been deleted and all families will need to register again for the program due to many changes in the program.
We will note a couple of current guidelines that must be adhered to to participate in BAA Programs this winter.
- All participants (players, coaches, or other volunteers) must wear a mask at all times.
- BAA will provide a list to the district of ALL participants per team for contact tracing.
- Participants are only to enter the buildings that their team is assigned at the time they are assigned. If any non-registered person is entering the building they must sign in per the building process.
- If a team is not following the BPS guidelines they will be issued one warning. If a second instance is noted that team will be suspended from using BPS for the reminder of the COVID-19 restrictions.
Season Runs January 21st – March 20th, including a season-ending tournament. Mini-Mites dates are January 26, 28, February 2, 4, 9, 11, & 18.

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.
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 umpire. 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!

BAA Playoffs and Tournaments are played for grades 3 – 12 with an opportunity to celebrate how the players and team made progress since the beginning of the season along with having some healthy competition. Parents/Guardians will be notified in advance on schedule, final playoff week information.
