Towson Recreation Council

8th, 9th and 10th Grade teams will be a mix of experienced and new players, as many experienced players will continue to play from early ages, that balance will be different than in the younger ages.  We continue to be committed to creating an environment where girls with less experience are playing and learning the game and girls with more experience are learning too.  We expect that the girls are having a lot of fun playing the Rec game at this age.

Practices will be once a week with games on Monday, Wednesdays or Saturdays. The League continues to be developmental in nature, allowing experienced and new players to have success. The pace of the game will be quicker, but all players will play and attending practices is critical.  Playing as part of a team and sportsmanship continue to be critical components of the game at this age.

In order to create this model, we follow some basic rules-

We work hard to balance the teams and ask that you note that evaluations are necessary for all to be placed on a team.  Small teams in basketball make it impossible to take requests for players or coaches as it would undo our ability to hold a coaches draft.

We use professional referees and HS players as scorekeepers to track the basic statistics for each game.  We will post statistics, but will continue to be a developmental league and coaches will focus on fundamentals and team skills verses who scored the most points.

If your 8th daughter wants to play more basketball, we would like to encourage her to try travel level play and let us know of her interest as soon as possible.
