T-Bird Select Girls Hoops is a developmental feeder program for Shorewood High School, in the Shoreline School District. The overall objective of the program is to develop each athlete’s core fundamental skills within the team setting.
It is our hope that through involvement in the feeder program, we will prepare our girls for eventual play at the high school level, though participation in the feeder program is not a guarantee that any player will be chosen for a high school roster.
What is a feeder league?
Feeder leagues in our area are usually comprised of 5th through 8th grade youth AAU basketball teams, and are intended to “feed” into a high school attendance area. It is our intent in the 2011-12 school year that the T-Bird Select Girls Hoops feeder program participate in the Puget Sound Travel League/Cascade winter season and WESCO spring season.
The WESCO league is made up of those feeder programs within the WESCO athletic conference. Participation in the Puget Sound Travel League (PSTL)/Cascade League is slightly broader, comprised of teams within the KINGCO, WESCO and some other athletic conferences, primarily in the north Puget Sound region of Western Washington.
We are a volunteer based organization, established to provide an opportunity for girls to develop basketball skills and play basketball in a competetive environment.
Players must live within the Shorewood HS enrollment boundaries or attend a school that feeds into Shorewood High School. Tryouts were held for 7th & 8th grade girls attending Einstein, as well as 5th and 6th grade girls attending Echo Lake, Highland Terrace, Meridian Park, Room Nine, Parkwood or Syre. Players who live in the Shoreline School District, and attend private school or are home schooled, are also eligible to play on T-Bird Select Girls Hoops teams.
We have 5th, 6th and 7th grade teams participating in the Cascade League (Associated with PSTL) winter season. For the Spring WESCO season, we will have teams in each of the four grade levels from 5th-8th grades.
For further information about eligibility, please refer to the WYBL Player Eligibility Rules.
