Girls Basketball in Kelowna
Every Junior Coyotes program is open to girls, and hundreds of girls have played in our leagues, camps, and tournaments. If your daughter wants to play basketball in Kelowna, there is a spot for her here, whether she is dribbling for the first time or chasing a spot on a club team.
August: The All-Girls Camp
Before the season starts we run an all girls camp at Kelowna Christian School. For Grades 1–6 the first two days are completely free. It is the easiest way for a new player to try basketball, and a good way for returning players to shake off the summer before fall leagues start.

Saturday Girls 3v3 League
The Saturday girls program is our 3v3 league, played girls against girls at St. Joseph's Elementary in Kelowna. Every session starts with coached skill development and finishes with real 3v3 games, so everyone touches the ball and nobody sits. It includes everything a Coyotes league includes: 9 sessions, a reversible jersey, Media Day photos, and player stats and graphics.

Coached by women who played
Girls see what they can be. Our girls programs are led by Jessica Tupper, Anto Luraghi, Iris Sylvester and Jaidan Curteanu, alongside other Okanagan College women's players and coaches. Our program is connected to OC Basketball, so Coyotes players learn from people who compete at the college level right now.
Where it leads
Junior Coyotes is a pathway, not just a season. Players grow from Micro to 3v3 to 5v5 to club teams and the Coyotes Summer Showdown stage, and for the ones who keep going, college basketball. Meet our alumni on the graduates page.
Frequently asked questions
What age can my daughter start?
Kindergarten. Mini & Micro Ballers is built for ages 5 to 7. It is all fun and no experience is needed.
Do girls play on girls teams?
Yes. In 3v3 the Grade 3 to 6 girls division runs Saturdays at St. Joseph's and is all girls, so every team and every game there is girls against girls. Grade 7 to 9 girls run as their own division when the numbers are there. In the 5v5 league we build dedicated girls teams, and depending on how many players register those teams may play against boys teams. Grade 1–2 and Mini & Micro Ballers are mixed boys and girls.
My daughter has never played. Which program fits?
If she is in Kindergarten to Grade 2, start with Mini & Micro Ballers. If she is in Grades 3 to 6 and new to the game, the Saturday girls 3v3 division is the best place to start. Players with more experience usually move into the 250 League (5v5), and Grade 7–9 girls can join Girls Fall Club.
Do you offer anything free to try?
Yes. Our all girls August camp is free for Grades 1–6 on August 25 and 26 at Kelowna Christian School, with no cost and no commitment. Watch this page and our Instagram @jrcoyotes for other free sessions through the year.
Is there a girls club team for Grade 7–9?
Yes. Girls Fall Club for Grades 7, 8 and 9 includes one team practice a week (Mondays, 1.5 hours), 5v5 league games on Fridays, 3v3 league skills and games on Saturdays, and one Jamboree tournament.
