Basketball Update

Posted on October 7, 2021Updated on October 22, 2021by waaadminCategories:Basketball, Sign-ups

We have gotten word that we will be having a basketball season this year, although it looks as if it will be competitive divisions only (WMCYO). We normally offer instructional (Biddy) as well, but there has been no communication that this league will be holding a season and we anticipate that they will not.

For competitive divisions, we will have Basketball signups open online *Registration Website* beginning October 11.

In Person signups will be held at the Christ Presbyterian Church (1597 Allen St) on Saturday, October 16 from 12:30 P.M. to 2:30 P.M. and on Friday, October 22 from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.

We will be following all of the Covid-19 restrictions and guidelines. Masks will be mandatory and spectators may be limited at basketball practices and games.

*We are in need of coaches. Please let us know if you’re interested. Equipment and practice locations are provided.*

Update on the 2021-2022 Basketball Season

Posted on September 28, 2021by waaadminCategories:Basketball, Organizational, Sign-ups

Hello Wilshire families!

Many of us have already begun to look forward to this year’s winter basketball season. We are currently waiting to hear back from the league on whether a season will be possible this year. We are still hopeful that the kids will be able to play and we are waiting on guidance on how to move forward. Please note that if there is a season, it is highly likely that masks will be mandatory, and there is a possibility that spectators may be limited. We are making every attempt to keep the kids active and playing the safest way possible and will need to follow the rules that both the city and league issue. Please continue to check our Facebook page and/or website as we will be providing updates on registration as soon as we have more information.

*We are currently looking for basketball coaches. Please contact us if you might be interested. Equipment/practice locations will be provided. *

Are you interested in Donating to Wilshire Athletic Association?

As a not for profit 501(c)(3) organization, all of the funds we take in, goes back to the children we strive so hard to serve. All work is done on a voluntary basis and no one receives compensation for their time.

With the recent COVID-19 Pandemic, things have become much more difficult, and we as an organization have had to modify the ways we have always done things; whether it means Live Streaming games for our fans with local city ordinances barring spectators from attending events live, or organizing safe alternative events outside of the norm in efforts to keep our kids active. Unfortunately, these alternatives come at an increased cost, that we avoid turning back on families.

If you would like to help offset these costs, please consider donating by clicking the donate button below. We assure you your donations will go to good use.

We are in desperate need of another Biddy Basketball coach (Grades Pre K to 1). If you are interested please let us know. We also understand that registrations are closed, but If you have a 5-7 year old child and they are not signed up, we will make space for them if you are willing to coach a team.

Hi everyone,

Thank you to those people who reached out over the weekend to inquire about flag football. At this point our six teams are closed and we are not accepting any more registrations. We are in the phase right now of getting coordinated to start practice. If anything does open up, we will communicate via a new post. Thanks again.

Looking for 1 more player for u10 flag football, and a coach for u8 and u10 teams. Very limited commitment, but great reward. You choose practice night(s) and games only on Sunday afternoon. Season goes from Mid Oct to Thanksgiving. 5 weeks plus playoff. Please help us and these kids out. Great Parent/Child bonding opportunity with u10 opening.
