Women's B League
If you’re not quite ready for the fast pace and intense play of the A League, the B League is a great choice. Most of our B League players have played basketball competitively in high school, with some also playing in college. We normally have 20 to 25 teams participate each season.

Women's C League
Our C League is perfect for the recreational player. Maybe you played competitively in high school, or maybe you’re just looking for some friendly competition — either way, you’ll fit in here! Approximately six to 10 teams participate each season.

Women's Silver Fox League
We designed the Silver Fox League specifically for players age 40 and over! Many women this age weren’t able to take advantage of Title IX and play competitive basketball at the collegiate level. Whether you’re a beginner or a skilled basketball player, you’ll be able to enjoy the thrill of competition here. Six to 10 Silver Fox teams take to the court each season.

Women's college Basketball League
Our College Summer League is a very fast-paced and competitive league designed to allow former and current college ball players to stay active during the summer. This league offers local players in town for the summer to get some great competition in as well. Typically, we have college teams sign up as well as free agent teams comprised of players just looking to keep their hoop skills sharp.
Benefits of YWCA Basketball
Basketball provides a great workout with its wide range of lateral movements, cardio and strength-building. Not only does basketball improve endurance, strength and cardiovascular health, but it can also enhance your coordination and motor skills, improving your physical performance overall.
Along with its clear physical benefits, YWCA basketball can help athletes improve their mood, reduce stress and develop strong communication skills through cooperation and competition. In short, these basketball leagues help you achieve a better state of being — while making a few great friends along the way.
