League Rules

Basketball Page

The Billy Lake Memorial Girls Basketball League season runs from May through June at the Drexel Hill Middle School in Drexel Hill, PA. The league is based on grade level (6-11), not age. The Junior League includes grades 6-8, and the Senior League includes grades 9-11 based on the present school year at the time of registration. Moving from the Junior League to the Senior League or vice versa based on ability is NOT allowed.

Teams are chosen through a league draft, therefore, special considerations such as car pooling and same school team are not a consideration.
