2021 - 2022 Season Overview
MISSION STATEMENT: The purpose of the Hamilton Girls Basketball Club is to give 3rd - 8th grade girls who plan on attending Hamilton High School a place to develop their game, play competitive basketball, have fun, make new friends, and get ready to play basketball at the high school level.
Parent Meeting
- Wednesday, August 25th at 6:30 pm at HHS Little Theatre.
- The Parent Meeting is critical for all parents to attend to learn about the club and our teams, hear feedback from our 2021 parent survey and ask any questions you may have.
Registration
- Open from Friday, August 6th until 11:45 pm on Sunday, August 29th.

Tournaments
