To help create and shape respectful, skilled, and competitive players and parents for the Skyline High School Girls Basketball program.

Girls in grades 4th-8th can play for Skyline Girls Select. To play, you must live inside the Skyline High School Border and be zoned to attend Skyline High School. If you attend a private school as long as you live inside the boundary, you can play for Skyline Select.

The cost for Skyline Select Basketball is lower than some other sports because of the focus on value to our members. Although costs are kept to a minimum this is an investment that we take seriously and is not a small amount. The organization is non-profit so all the money collected is put back into your child's experience with basketball. 

All players this year will need to purchase uniforms (returning) or a complete uniform package (new) which includes a reversible Home/Away Jersey and Shorts. We are refreshing the styling this year and additionally, players are provided exclusive player gear each year from the program (sweatshirts, shooting shirts, practice pinnies).

SGSB has partnered with Elite basketball in Preston to offer in season training to all our players. More information will be available at the Meet The Coach event on in September.

Practices begin the first week of October. Each team will have the opportunity to play in 1-2 pre-season tournaments plus our own tournament (Skyline Tip-Off Tournament, Nov 2025) beginning late October thru November. League games start in December and end in late February. The League tournament is in early March and if qualified, teams may compete at the State Tournament in Spokane, WA.

Skyline Select teams practice at least twice per week, but individual training is offered 5 days a week for all players as well. Each team will have roughly 16-20 league games and about 20 tournament games. 

During the season all our teams will play the Skyline Tip-off Tournament, in early November. In addition, all of our teams will attend a travel tournament with many choosing the MLK Dream Classic Tournament in Portland, OR/Vancouver, WA over the MLK weekend. Travel tournaments give teams, players and parents a chance to bond and create better chemistry. Tournaments are very fluid though and can be canceled at the last-minute because of the number of registered teams or even gym space that cannot be reserved until only weeks in advance. The coaches will pick the tournaments for your team and will be communicated through your team manager. Our season ending league championships are generally held in early March and some of our teams advance to the State Middle School Tournament to compete.

Communication is the key to succeeding in these scenarios. Many of the players in our organization are multi-sport girls and we encourage variety in their activities for their growth. While an occasional missed practice, game or tournament is understandable, it is the program’s expectation that the players fully participate in practices, games and team-building events to maximize the experience for the team. For girls with other sport or activity commitments that would prevent participation in the majority of activities, the program will likely not be the best fit.

Our Skyline Tip-Off Tournament, which will be held in November, is our one organized fundraising event for the season. Families are required to work shifts to assist with this tournament. We also benefit from companies that match dollars for your volunteer time and this is greatly appreciated. Lastly, if you have a business you would like to advertise please let us know. 

Please note: Every family is expected to volunteer at our annual Skyline Tip-off Tournament. Please block out the Tip-Off Tournament weekend for some competitive basketball and lots of volunteering to support the program and keep costs low. Parents may also be expected to operate the score clock and keep the official scorebook for league home games and occasionally some tournaments. Also, each team is required to have a team manager to assist the coaches in scheduling, organization and team communications. Each team may also choose to have a treasurer to manage team funds and/or a social committee to organize team get-togethers. We make huge efforts to utilize volunteers from the high school basketball team and other high schoolers but we could not have this tournament without parent support.
