    The Cape Cod Waves Girls Basketball program is entering its 7th season and has established themselves as the Premier Girls A.A.U. Basketball program on Cape Cod and Southeastern Massachusetts. The Girls have also made an impact on the Massachusetts State Division 1 Level and the National level as detailed on our Home Page.
    Last year we had 10 teams with 120 girls participating in the Spring season which runs April, May and June. We play in tournaments throughout Mass and New England to introduce a higher competitive level of basketball to our girls. Some of our teams even travel throughout the Country on the National level as well. We will also host 4 tournaments on the Cape annually that allows us the opportunity to play home games, with our tournaments drawing the some of finest competitive teams coming here to the Cape. We also now end our season with our Hy-Line Canal Cruise Pizza Party through the Canal for our Players, Coaches and Families.
   Our program is instructive, well coached, organized and passionate to the development of all our players and the opportunities we present. The coaches are experienced and quaified and have a love for the game and teaching it to our players. We also run various skills clinics throughout the year for girls to improve their game.
    We will be offering alot more this upcoming 2010 sesaon for an opportunity to be part of the Cape Cod Waves Girls Basketball Program, so please check back for updates. I look forward to having you be part of the Cape Cod Waves Girls Basketball experience and all that it has to offer.

COST PER PLAYER

The Individual player cost will vary depending upon the team on which she plays. A Player could be paying $300 to $600 for the entire Spring Season which runs April through June. AAU membership, Insurance, Cape Cod Waves membership, Uniforms, Team equipment, coaches salaries (if applicable), gym rentals (if necessary) are included in fees charged. 
Tournaments are the biggest cost variable in determining the the total cost. We host 3 tournaments at no charge to our teams. The team will decide which and how many other tournaments they will play in. Our younger teams (10 and 11U ) and B, or 2nd Teams, will usually play in anywhere from 3 to 5 more tournaments plus our 3. Those teams may expect to pay around $300 - $350 per player (less if a player has a uniform). 
Our 12U and older A Teams would play in maybe as many as 10 more tournaments, bringing the cost per player closer to the $600 amount.

COMMITMENT

Teams will start practicining in the begining of April (maybe mid to late March) and will go 1 or 2 times a week depending on the coach. All practices will be on the weeknights with tournament games on the weekend. Tournaments are usually 4 games per weekend, 2 per day. School work, Religious commitments and Middle/High School Sports take priority over any Cape Cod Waves activities. 2nd sport/activities commitments can usualy be worked out with the coach or the Cape Cod Waves director. We will never ask you to quit any other commitment for the Waves. We understand the the AAU basketball season is OFF basketball season and runs along other in season sports such as Softball, Soccer and Lacrosse. We also understand that our players are talented athletes that play more than one sport, which we encourage. The purpose of playing AAU Basketball is to help you be a better player for your Travel, Middle or High School Teams.
