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.

Jr. Winter League

Starting Date: TBD

Competitive in-house 3-on 3 League for girls from Grades 3-6.

The 9-week season will include skill development, a cool team jersey, a Spirit hoodie and lots of court time!

Once a week with no extra travel or time commitment, this program was created to keep the girls on the court with a stronger focus on game play.

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.
