Should I sign up for In-house or Travel?
Learn more about each WAA program on our main page.
Do you have anything for K-2nd Grade?
Yes! Please see our K-2nd Page.
Why isn't their a Girls 9th-12th In-house Program?
Girls basketball numbers are much lower than the boys, and all girls make the high school basketball team. On the boys side more boys get cut than make the team, so we continue to provide an in-house option for them.
When is registration?
Registration opens in July and closes in September. Anyone who registers after the deadline will be placed on a waitlist (and only let in only if there is availability).
Girls In-house is for grades 3rd-8th.
Boys In-house is for grades 3rd-12th.
Can a player "play up" a grade level?
A player must register at their correct grade when registering for WAA In-House Basketball. If you have questions about "playing up" please reach out to the Boys and Girls Basketball Directors.

How are In-House teams formed?
Players are rated at Shoot Around and those rankings are used to make EQUAL teams.
Players can make ONE friend request but both players must have each other's name requested in order to honor this. Multiple friend requests are not possible because of the need to make equal and fair teams.
What is a Shoot Around?
Teams are formed at Shoot Around in late September/early October. The purpose of the Shoot Around is to make EQUAL teams.
Can I make a buddy request?
Players can make ONE friend request but both players must have each other's name requested in order to honor this. Multiple friend requests are not possible because of the need to make equal and fair teams.
When does the season start?
The season runs November through mid-February. Team formation happens at the end of October.
When are practices?
All teams will practice for 60 minutes, 2 days per week, at 833 elementary schools. Practices are based on gym availability given to us by District 833.
Your coach will email you in October with practice information for November/December, and then again in December for January/February.
Due to District 833 High School sports having priority, you will NOT know what days you practice before you register and days may be different week to week.
When are games?
All games are played on Saturday mornings and early afternoons. Game schedules will come out in October for November/December and end of December for January/February.
Coaches use Equal Playtime Sheets during the game so all players are given equal opportunities to play and develop as players.
How are coaches picked?
WAA relies on parent volunteers to coach. If you are interested in coaching, please indicate this on your child's registration. Each team will have one head coach and one/two assistant coaches. All coaches must complete a background check and the Trusted Coaches program prior to the start of the season.
WAA provides coaching clinics and a coaches page to help with planning practices and drills. Equal playtime sheets are used during games.
