Girls Basketball

The Girls Basketball Program is designed to develop athletes at every level of Junior High, Junior Varisty and Varsity.


Junior High Girls Basketball (6th-8th Grade)

The Junior High Girls Basketball Program (6th-8th grade) focuses on building a strong foundation of basketball skills and introducing athletes to more competitive play. This level prepares athletes for the transition into Junior Varsity and Varsity basketball.

  • Skill Development and Strategy: Junior High athletes refine their fundamental skills while learning more advanced strategies, including offensive plays, defensive schemes, and team dynamics. Coaches work closely with players to improve their basketball IQ and understanding of the game.
  • Competitive Play: Junior High players participate in local games and tournaments, providing a competitive environment where athletes can test their skills and experience real-game situations.
  • Team Growth and Leadership: Athletes are encouraged to support one another and demonstrate leadership on and off the court. Junior High players begin to take on more responsibility as role models for younger players, building a strong team mentality.


Junior Varsity Girls Basketball

Depending on registration numbers, a Junior Varsity team is possible each year. The Junior Varsity Girls Basketball Program serves as a stepping stone for athletes preparing to compete at the Varsity level. This team provides a more competitive environment where athletes continue to hone their skills while developing a greater understanding of team play and strategy.

  • Competitive Play and Growth: Junior Varsity athletes compete in a variety of games and tournaments, where they have the opportunity to challenge themselves and develop their skills in a competitive setting. The goal is to prepare athletes for future Varsity-level competition.
  • Skill Refinement and Strategy: Coaches work on further developing each athlete's individual skills and basketball IQ, helping them understand the nuances of the game and preparing them for more intense competition.
  • Leadership and Teamwork: As Junior Varsity players, athletes are expected to step into leadership roles, mentoring younger players and helping to build a positive team culture. Teamwork is emphasized as the foundation for success, with players working together to achieve common goals.


Varsity Girls Basketball

The Varsity Girls Basketball Program at Texas Wind is for athletes who are committed to competing at a high level. This program is highly competitive and offers athletes the chance to showcase their skills in the most intense competitions, with the goal of achieving team success and personal growth.

  • High-Level Competition: Varsity athletes play in a competitive league with the opportunity to participate in regional and state-level tournaments. The team competes for championships, with a focus on both individual and team achievement.
  • Advanced Coaching and Skill Development: Varsity players receive high-level coaching to refine their techniques, improve their basketball IQ, and enhance their physical conditioning. Athletes work on advanced plays, individual skills, and strategies that will help them succeed in pressure-filled game situations.
  • Team Leadership and Accountability: Varsity players are expected to lead by example, setting the standard for work ethic, sportsmanship, and accountability both on and off the court. Leadership skills are a key component of the Varsity experience, and athletes are encouraged to step up as role models for younger players.
  • Playoff and Tournament Opportunities: Depending on the team’s success during the regular season, Varsity athletes have the opportunity to advance to playoffs and state tournaments, competing for the ultimate title.
