Girls Basketball Programs
Winter 2023-2024 for TRC Girls Basketball
When It’s Cold and Dark Outside, It’s Always Warm in the Gym!
REGISTRATION for Winter 2023 is open!
WELCOME!
Towson Rec Council (TRC) Girls Basketball hosts both a developmental Recreational League and a Rec Travel program.
We believe in teaching fundamentals while offering girls with advanced skills the opportunity to compete at a higher level.
The Recreational league is fun, mixing girls from over 20 different schools to teach them the basics of basketball in a positive environment.

MANDATORY Volunteer Background Check
Dear Towson Rec Council,
Baltimore County has instituted a Volunteer Background Check Program.
Volunteers must complete this process prior to each program season.
PURPOSE: Baltimore County Government is invested in increasing the safety of participants and families while they are participating in Recreation and Parks activities and programs. This commitment is extending our efforts to include conducting background investigations for all volunteers who participate in Recreation/Nature Council, Therapeutic, PAL, and other County-sponsored recreation programs.
The background investigation will be conducted by a nationally recognized security screening firm, the Southeastern Security Consultants, Inc (SSCI). This screening is a review of each applicant’s criminal history. The results of the screening will determine each volunteer’s eligibility to volunteer in our programs. To protect the privacy of all volunteers in the program, Baltimore County staff will not have access to any information regarding this background screening. SSCI will only provide a list of passed applicants to Recreation and Parks staff.
This program is a preventive measure. It is not meant to take the place of parental involvement and participation. It is meant to work in partnership with parental efforts to ensure that their children and all constituents enjoy programs and activities in a safe environment.
