Hamilton PAL Girl's Basketball 2025 - 2026

Divisions will be determined by how many girls are signed up for the overall league, the number of coaches we have and the skill level of each player.  The grade your daughter is currently in will only be one of several factors in determining which division each girl plays in and can change during the year.  Every participant is guaranteed to be on at least one team.

The program begins on Oct with clinics.  Fundamental practices for ALL will begin mid October and run through the week of Thanksgiving.  Group practices will be run on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at local elementary and middle schools, and you can attend as many or as few sessions as desired.  These weeks will be spent working on dribbling, passing, shooting, boxing out and learning to play defense.  The practices will be run by the various coaches in the league.  On Thursdays / Fridays starting in October we will be offering clinics run by former college, high school and PAL players, along with various high school coaches in the area.  In this stage again, your child can attend as many nights as possible (that fit your schedule).

A draft of players by the PAL coaches and staff will be held during the week of Thanksgiving with team practices beginning the first week of December and running through mid December.  Team practices will be conducted by your daughter's coach on a specific night each week.

Games will begin on the first Friday, January 9th for all divisions and run until mid March. If we need to schedule games or makeup games, we may need to use Thursday nights at Reynolds.

Divisions will be determined by how many girls are signed up for the overall league.

There will be a Friday night division that plays half court at an 8 ft basket for those in K-2 who have trouble reaching the 10 ft basket.

The registration cost for the entire year from September to March is $150 and includes the cost of the reversible jersey, use of the gyms and referees for the games.

We use reversible jerseys so that your daughter can play on different teams and levels as the season progresses.

If you are unsure if your daughter will like playing basketball and has never played in Hamilton PAL before, we offer an introduction registration, which will allow your daughter to participate in the first segment that runs from October through November for $50 and includes the group practices and clinics.  This option does not include ANY games that start in January.  You will have to pay the remaining $100 before moving on to team play.
