The Avalon Community Association-
Basketball

akasane designThe Avalon Community Association provides a fun and exciting basketball program for girls ages (7-17) www.eteamz.com/avalonbball.

The Avalon Community Association has had many talented young women go from community basketball onto highschool and university level play. As well, many players who don't go onto highschool basketball have the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful team sport. With more than 88 young women participating in our program, Avalon ranks as one of the largest community programs in the Saskatoon Minor Basketball Association (www.smba.ca).

In 2001, the program was expanded to include grade 11 and 12 highschool girls interested in playing recreational basketball.

The CAAWS grant helped the community association to purchase girls basketball jerseys. In the past years, we've had to utilize boys jerseys which don't fit as well so it's a treat to have the new jerseys!

In the picture is one of our Midget Girls - the "Untamed Talent" Team.

A great big thanks to CAAWS for supporting our girls program!
