The Junior Warriors Girls Basketball program is in its seventh season this year. The program’s main mission is to develop interest in basketball among 3rd-8th grade girls who will eventually attend Cedar Rapids Washington High School. We also emphasize fundamental skill development and improvement. Girls coming into the program should already have good basketball skills and above average interest in basketball and their families should be prepared to make a time commitment that is greater than the commitment of YMCA basketball. The level of competition for our teams is higher than the YMCA.
Programs like ours are known as feeder programs and in many of them there are tryouts and cuts. We do not have tryouts nor do we cut kids. Every girl who wants to play will have a chance to play and develop her skills. When we have more than 12 girls, we create two teams, each equal in abilities.
