Welcome to Baranof Ballers

REcreational League

Hey basketball fans! Baranof Ballers provides two separate basketball programs for Sitka kids. Our primary program is the recreational league. The main goal of the recreational basketball league is to provide a fun and safe environment for kids to learn and play the game of basketball. It is all about fostering a love for the sport, building teamwork and sportsmanship skills, and promoting physical activity and overall wellness.

Through participating in a recreational youth basketball league, kids have the opportunity to develop their basketball skills, improve their coordination and agility, and enhance their social skills by interacting with teammates and coaches. It is a great way for kids to stay active, make new friends, and have fun while learning valuable life lessons through the game of basketball.

So, whether your child is just starting out in basketball or is looking to improve their skills, a recreational youth basketball league is the perfect place for them to grow and thrive in a supportive and encouraging environment.

Get your child involved in the Baranof Ballers recreational youth basketball league today and watch as they develop a passion for the game and build lifelong memories on the court!

Competitive Session

Our second program is the Competitive (Comp) Session, which begins immediately after the recreational league. While it follows the rec season, it operates as an entirely separate program designed for the most dedicated and skilled athletes in each division.

This session provides players with an opportunity to elevate their skills, mindset, and teamwork through higher-level competition, advanced training, and real-game experience. Unlike the rec league, which focuses on fun and fundamentals, the comp session pushes athletes to compete at a higher intensity, refining their technique and strategic understanding of the game. Practices are more rigorous, and coaches can dive deeper into offensive and defensive strategies, preparing players for elite competition.

Beyond basketball, playing at a competitive level helps athletes develop perseverance, accountability, and a strong work ethic—qualities that translate to success in school, work, and life. The comp session also builds essential skills like teamwork, communication, and leadership, ensuring players are prepared for the demands of higher-level basketball and beyond.

This program is perfect for athletes who are serious about improving their game and ready for the next challenge!
