The Program

BRGAAO has been in operation since 1985 or for 29 years.  The purpose of our girls basketball program is to help promote and develop female amateur athletes and to increase playing skills by participation at local, state, and national levels.  Our goal within the organization surpasses just mere athletics and leads us into a much more detailed mission.  That mission is to offer young ladies unique opportunities that arise through athletics and to demonstrate through practical experiences that teamwork, dedication to goals, focused effort and practice are pathways to success.  We continuously promote self-awareness, integrity, academics and humanitarianism.  We week to make our athletic program a safe haven for young ladies to sample life’s successes and failures through the sport of basketball so that they may apply lessons learned to their daily lives. 

 

To date, the Baton Rouge Lady Tigers has eleven (11) teams/age groups performing and we’re steadily growing.  The types of teams and age groups are as follows:

Developmental Teams:                  4 Teams (Ages: 9, 10, 11, and 12)

Competitive Teams:                       3 Teams (Ages: 12, 13, and 14)

Travel/Showcase Teams:               4 Teams (Ages 14, 15, 16 and 17)

The Class of 2015 is our first travel/showcase team constructed within the organization.  We’re are excited to announce that six (6) out of six (6) graduation players from this team,  have received and signed scholarships to play basketball on the next level and in several different divisions (Division I, Division II, and Junior College).  In addition, one member of this team and class was chosen to participate in the 17U USA Olympic trials held in Colorado Springs the summer of 2014.
