General Information: Girls Basketball

HSAA forms teams at both the High School (Varsity & JV) and Middle School (7th & 8th grade) levels. High School and Middle School Girls tryouts are typically conducted at the same time in late August.

Please read carefully the Eligibility Requirements as outlined on the following link (Eligibility Requirements) on the HSAA website.

Practices begin in mid-September with games typically scheduled from November through February. The Homeschool Nationals Tournament in Springfield, Missouri is typically mid-March. HSAA schedules games against area Private, Christian, and Parochial schools, as well as homeschool teams from other cities. HSAA does not create or sponsor spring/summer teams. In the past, players from HSAA teams have connected to form spring/summer teams, but HSAA does not involve itself in the arrangement and/or support of such teams.

Basic Fee includes the HSAA Membership Fee (per sport/per participant), gymnasium rentals, tournament fees, player fees for Nationals, equipment bag, practice shirt, and uniform use for one year. Fees do not include travel and hotel costs for out-of-town games and tournaments.

Team	2011-2012 Basic Fee
Varsity & JV	$700
Middle School	$400

This is competitive basketball, with no substitution rules. Unlike Rec Programs, there is no guarantee of playing time. Playing time will be based on skill-sets, hustle, ability, performance, not to mention attitude toward your teammates and others. If applicable, HSAA may provide professional training opportunities. HSAA is NOT, however, a win-at-all-cost organization. Our goal is to provide a high-quality, balanced program where talented athletes can grow physically and spiritually and where Jesus Christ is honored in all respects.

HSAA coaches are volunteers. Parents may be asked to help provide logistical support. If you feel you have a skill that you could use to help the program, please let us know. Also, our coaches have full-time jobs and are taking personal time from their families to support our program. Please remember this, and stay flexible.

In a nutshell, we stress to our players that all we do reflects who we are in Christ.

As such, we expect our players (and families) to be model athletes, exhibiting Christ-like behavior in all our interactions with our coaching staff, opponents, and referees.
