League Focus
To provide an atmosphere where kids can work on improving their skills and self esteem. The focus is not on winning. No standings are kept in this league. These games should be considered scrimmages where kids are free to make mistakes and have fun. (Tournaments are where we go to focus on winning.) We believe that youth sports, when properly run at all levels, are a healthy, fun and positive aspect of a child’s life. Imparting lifelong values that are the behavioral foundation of our future leaders.
To this pursuit, we offer programs that will embody this philosophy.

our league is designed for medium skill level teams that fall in between recreational skill level and AAU high end select level. It is a great league to just work on your game in a low key pressure free fun environment for low end to medium skill level teams. To help foster this atmosphere we do not keep standings and will respectfully ask coaches or parents that want to yell and complain to please play elsewhere. This is a safe fun positive place for the kids to just have fun and enjoy all that sports should offer them. The high end highly competitive teams should be playing in tournaments or other AAU leagues designed to provide that highly competitive atmosphere. They do a good job to serve those teams
Thank you

League History
Some 23 years ago, I was running a recreational basketball league (S.C.G.) and I wanted my 4th grade daughter to play AAU but there wasn't a sanctioned league in our area. I wanted her to have the same opportunity to pursue her dreams that the boys had. At that time Alderwood Boys and Girls club did not have a girls basketball program. I took all of S.C.G. recreational teams, equipment, and money and donated all of it to Alderwood boys and girls club so they could have a girls basketball program. I then started AAU Washington Girls Basketball. My new league started with one team. We scrimmaged a lot.
