Granny Basketball® League
A gentle game for women of a certain age (50+)
Are you Granny Basketball team material?
Do you still like to compete?
Did you love girls’ basketball in the ‘40s, ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s, or ‘80s?
Do you want to get some exercise and have fun at the same time?
Do you want to help your favorite charity?
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, you should sign up to play!
Or perhaps you’d like to referee, keep score or coach! (Any age or gender)
Also keep in mind no basketball experience is required. Practice is every Monday through July 28.
The Granny Basketball League provides:
• Fun, competitive exercise for women over the age of 50.
• An avenue for charitable giving.
• Wholesome, nostalgic, and sometimes humorous entertainment.
• Recognition for mature women.
• A method of preserving the history of six-on-six basketball.
We’d love for you come play with us!:
