Spirit Basketball: Who We are

A Tradition of Team Spirit

The Strathroy Spirit girls basketball club has been a part of the Ontario Basketball Assocation (OBA) since 1992.

That's over three decades of encouraging and developing young female athletes. Three decades of coaching, managing, volunteering, and parenting the leaders of tomorrow.

It's not just a club, it's a community.

Player Development is #1

A Tradition of Team Spirit

Our mission is to increase participation and skill levels for girls in Strathroy and the surrounding areas while encouraging a healthy lifestyle and positive participation in team sport.

Check out the 8-week fall Bootcamp, winter competitive house leagues, or try out for an OBA Competitive travel team that runs November - April.

Sr. Winter League

Jr. Winter League

NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON

There will be a U19 Competitive Team instead this year.

Geared towards girls in Grades 8-12 that are looking to both enhance their skills and up their court time experience should join us for a new Spirit opportunity!

It's a 10 week program that will run every Wednesday night from 7:30-9pm at the high school gyms.

This is a great option for girls who love the game, but can't commit to a full competitive season. Maybe you're taking lots of shifts at work, have a heavy course load or lots of school work, or you're playing other sports at school....

Whatever else you have going on, this winter league will help you stay in shape with lots of game play, bring your skills to the next level, and create some great friendships in a positive atmosphere!

Where would we be without volunteers?

The Strathroy Spirit basketball program has run since 1992 on the dedication of volunteers from the communities of Strathroy and surrounding area. Would you like to be on the court teaching kids to dribble and shoot? Or perhaps you have interest in marketing, website upkeep, or social media? Maybe you would enjoy working behind the scenes with registration spreadsheets, or helping order t-shirts?

If you are interested in giving of your time to help continue this great program for girls in our community, we’d love to hear from you.
