ROOKIE TRAINING
Sundays, 9:30-10:45am | Mission Valley YMCA, 5505 Friars Road, SD
As your first step, you will be asked to come to at least one rookie training session, where we can formally meet and greet you at whatever level of play you bring to the courts. Rookie Training allows players of all levels to learn the basics and more advanced skills of the 3-on-3 women’s basketball game. We customize our complimentary training program each week to meet the needs of the players present. So whether you are a beginner or have already established yourself as an advanced player in recreational basketball, we provide a learning environment to develop your skills further.
Ideally, before playing on a team in the senior women’s league, a new player is asked to attend a SWBA New Players Welcome Session. These fun and informative meetings are designed to help someone new to the courts understand the rules, policies, gain a better understanding of SWBA member benefits, and the opportunities to compete in local, state and national senior competitive level. The welcome sessions are held on either a Sunday morning or Thursday evening at the start of each session. Both current and new members are in attendance and can answer any questions you may have as a new player.

Member Pick-Up Games
As SWBA Members, Open Play Pick-up Games are held on Wednesdays and Fridays, 1:00 p.m. -2.30 p.m. at the Mission Valley YMCA. A $1 fee is collected from each player to support SWBA programs.
League Play Times
Sundays (11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.) and Thursday evenings (6:00 p.m. – 8 :00 p.m.)
We help new members/players to find a team, once we get to know their level of play.
There are additional costs to playing in the league games on Sunday and/or Thursday evenings; each team pays the YMCA $320 for each 8-week session to cover the cost of certified officials and scorekeepers. There are 5-10 players on a team, so $32-$64 per player per 8-week session.
