Basketball for Women
This is a new program being offered by Above the Rim Basketball School, through the City of Ottawa’s Women in Sport program. After years of feedback from mothers who have watched their children enjoy our program, we are pleased to be offering this program to women in the Ottawa area.
Above the Rim’s Basketball for Women program runs for ninety minutes on a weekday evening. The first half hour of the program is run as a practice, which includes skill specific warm-ups, drills and instruction. The last hour is designated as game play, with refs and coaches for each team.
The program is designed for women who:
- Want to get a workout and play some structured basketball while interacting and socializing with likeminded women in the community.
- Have played basketball in the past and want to be reintroduced back to the game in a safe and non-judgemental environment.
- Are new to the sport of basketball and have always wanted to learn and play.
All games are designed to allow for equal playing time. Players will be able to experience the spirit of friendly competition in a recreational environment and develop skills.
