Bel Air Girls Basketball

Q: When does the season start?

Practices typically start the second week of November and occur one night per week with days and times to be determined by the chairperson. Games typically start the second Saturday of December and run until the end of February.

Q: Can I register my daughter after registration closes?

We accept late registrations up until the first game of the season, as long as there are available spots in the requested age group and your daughter&#39;s availability matches assigned practice times for available teams.

Q: If my child does not make the travel team, can I still register my daughter for rec?

We, ask that you please register your daughter for rec before registration closes. Depending on the number of registered girls and available coaches, there may not be spots available on rec teams if you wait until after travel try-outs.

Q: Will we play with other rec programs?

Depending on the amount of teams in an age group any given year, we may combine leagues with outside rec programs in order to allow for a sufficient number of teams. If this occurs, there may be games at the other rec program&#39;s facilities.

Our Goal

The goal of our program is to provide a safe and productive environment that enables girls from 5 to 15 to learn and apply the principles of teamwork, discipline, dedication, and sportsmanship. We facilitate the development of strength and character in every child that participates. Participation in our program is open to all girls in the Harford County area.

We are sustained by the efforts of volunteers who display an extraordinary amount of commitment and hard work, ensuring that our program is a positive influence in the lives of our children. We also strive to provide a service to our community by providing a healthy outlet for children, opportunities for the community to gather together, and endless hours of entertainment.

Sportsmanship Teamwork Strength Character Discipline Dedication

We welcome all children, regardless of race, creed or national origin.

Our program is registered as a non-profit organization with the Bel Air Recreation Committee. We appreciate the generous support of the community, local merchants, and civic organizations.
