Winter 2027 Women’s League
All Skill Levels Welcome
We welcome women ages 18 and up, from players returning to basketball after high school to former college athletes. We balance teams and adjust schedules throughout the season for fun, competitive matchups.
Time on the Court
Our weekly check-in helps each team have seven or eight players on game day. Players substitute at even intervals, and no one sits for longer than five minutes at a time.
Game Day Atmosphere
Games are competitive and fun. There are no coaches or player-coaches. Friends and family can cheer from the stands, and we play music during games.
Competitive Play, Welcoming Community
We’re about playing hard, having fun, and being part of a team! Players make new friends as they pursue a league championship. We welcome adult players ages 18+. Most of our players played competitively through high school but we also have former Division 1 through Division 3 collegiate athletes.
Our weekly check-in process ensures each team will have at least seven to eight players on game day (ensuring no forfeited or canceled games). Players substitute at even intervals, and no one sits for longer than five minutes at a time. Our league doesn’t have coaches or player coaches. Friends and family can cheer from the stands, and we play music during games, too!
