About the Grizzlies Select Basketball Association

  GRIZZLIES SELECT BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION

 

Grizzlies Select Basketball Association (GSBA) is an organization dedicated to the development of young athletes for future Glacier Peak High School basketball teams. There is one team at each 4th - 8th grade level for boys and girls. 

 

The GSBA program is designed for players who are ready for a step up from recreational basketball but who may not be seeking the year-round commitment of club teams. With a strong emphasis on player development, we focus on teaching fundamentals, building basketball IQ, and developing confidence in a positive, competitive environment. Practices and games are structured to prioritize learning, effort, and consistent improvement. Playing time is earned through commitment, attitude, and application of skills - not guaranteed or equal. This program is about developing well‑rounded players who love the game and are prepared for the next level, wherever that may be.

  • Practices: begin early October through mid March.
  • League Play: December through the first week of March.
  • Tournaments: teams will participate in Washington Middle School State Championships qualifier tournaments throughout the season. 

 

Our Mission:
GSBA will provide a positive environment of growth for athletes in 4th - 8th grade, who demonstrate advanced physical basketball skills and a positive attitude. With a focus on the following: 

  • Increase basketball skills and knowledge
  • Positive sportsmanship
