ANGBC provides an excellent opportunity for your 3rd through 8th grade daughter in the Appleton North High School district to learn the sport of basketball, experience the excitement of school spirit, and build lasting friendships with other girls her age! As a community club, it runs on a volunteer basis, as this is an excellent opportunity for parents to get involved and engage with other families in the community. ANGBC provides an opportunity for the entire family!
Here is quick overview of ANGBC:
- The ANGBC Board is comprised of volunteer parents. Any ANGBC members interested in helping the Board are welcome and encouraged to do so.
- The ANGBC basketball program is open to 3rd through 8th grade girls in the Appleton North district.
- All coaches are selected by the ANHS Varsity Staff and ANGBC Board and use methods and teachings under the direction of the ANHS Girls Basketball Staff.
- In general, team practices are held twice a week beginning in October and running through February or March (7th and 8th grade may go later).
- The playing season is made up of Saturday or Sunday league games and weekend tournaments which start in November and run through February or March. Weekend tournaments require travel to other schools in NE Wisconsin. For 7th and 8th grade teams, the ANGBC season slows down in January and February to allow girls the option of playing on their Middle School basketball team. The 7th and 8th grade ANGBC season picks up again at the conclusion of their school season.
- The exact number of tournaments per team will vary due to team size, but each girl will be invited to the following number of tournaments (including 1 home tournament):
o 3rd grade: 3 tournaments
o 4th grade: 4 tournaments
o 5th grade: 5 tournaments
o 6th grade: 6 tournaments
o 7th grade: 7 tournaments
o 8th grade: 8 tournaments
- In addition to tournaments, league games are played on various Saturdays or Sundays in Nov and Dec for 3rd through 6th grade.
- The board has the discretion to change/add to the number of tournaments depending on different opportunities that arise as well as the number of girls on each team.
