GIRLS' BASKETBALL- Ages 6 to 17
HYAA's Girls' Basketball Program Overview
HYAA's Girls' Basketball program is a JR NBA* affiliate. Our program is exciting and fun for players and spectators. HYAA is the area's oldest and largest youth basketball program. We provide our youth a recreational and competitive experience that encourages growth as better athletes and better human beings. Our program is designed for the recreational player and our appeal is to a broad spectrum of abilities; from novice to gifted. Unlike many organizations that limit or discourage participation of novice or developing players, our organization welcomes and helps make novice players into great players. We have mandatory minimum play rules and organizational oversight of the league's operation. We also have a close alliance with area Challenge and AAU teams, and provide highly gifted players the avenue for a more competitive experience if wanted.
All teams will have one, one hour practice during the week and one game every Saturday during the season.

TEAM FORMATION
Parity is paramount to our mission and HYAA uses a player evaluation process (skills day and prior season coach's evaluation) and then a draft to create teams. HYAA's goal is to create a system of team parity, where teams are generally balanced. Parity creates exciting basketball and enhances the enjoyment of the players and spectators.
FACILITIES
