The GHAA Basketball Program consists of the options listed below. Please understand, GHAA and Anne Arundel County Rec and Parks utilizes Anne Arundel County Public School (AACPS) facilities. Our programs are guests in the AACPS facilities and we follow the no use days set by AACPS (school holidays, school events, etc.)
In-House Clinic Program – Fee $85.00
This co–ed program is designed for boys and girls in kindergarten. The Clinic program will practice one night a week. The start date for Clinic is to be determined.
Community League – Fee $105.00
The Community League is for first and second graders and is a co-ed league. The Community teams will practice one night a week and play games on Friday evenings.
The number of GHAA community teams will be determined based on registration numbers and availability of coaches.
Start dates for practices and games are to be determined.
County League – Fee $170.00
The County League offers play to both boys and girls. To participate in the County League, players MUST be 8 years old prior to competing in a County league game. The County league offers leagues from 8U – 13U (generally 3rd grade – 8th grade). The number of teams in each age group will be determined by registration numbers and availability of coaches. Coach requests can be made at the time of registration. Requests are considered, but are not guaranteed.
The start date for practices will be in early November and games begin the first weekend in December. The season goes through the end of February.
Each county level athlete must participate in an evaluation. Evaluations will determine proper placement at the appropriate level of play (A, B or C league). Evaluations will be held in October. Further details will be communicated following registration.

Practice Schedule
County league teams will have two practices a week and play games on Saturday. Some teams may have Sunday games, but that will be communicated by the coach as the season gets closer. Please keep an eye on AACO Recreation and Parks website for more schedule information. GHAA typically practices at Rolling Knolls Elementary, Germantown Elementary, and Annapolis Middle.
County Play is leveled in the following manner:
C League – recreational level
B League – competitive level
A League – AAU/Travel teams
Evaluations
For players registering to participate on any team at the 8U level and higher, GHAA will be hosting an evaluation night. This evaluation will allow the coaches to best fit the players to an appropriate level of play. This will allow players to have the best basketball experience possible for them. A schedule for evaluations will be communicated once a start date for the season has been determined.
