Welcome to Â鶹Íø 5-6 Girls Basketball! Please click here to view Parent Resources and Forms for 5-6 Girls Basketball. 

In order to provide more opportunities for students to engage in basketball as well as develop skills associated with basketball, the Â鶹Íø has adopted a model that includes different phases of the season.

Intramural Season - The twenty K-6 schools in the K-6 League offer four weeks of open intramurals.  Any student interested will have access to coaching of fundamentals and competitive scrimmages.  All schools need volunteers to assist with the coaching and refereeing of their intramural seasons.  If you are interested please click the link HERE.

Tournament Season - At the end of the Intramural season, 15-20 players will be chosen to represent their school in at least six interscholastic games played in the following formats:

Regional Tournament - In order to limit the distance traveled by families, the Â鶹Íø K-6 schools are split up into four regions. For fun, the regions are named after the Arizona Universities Mascots.     

A regional tournament is played in the Middle School gym in that region and the games are officiated by a professional officiating vendor.

• Sun Devil Region Host - Desert Foothills Junior High
• Lumberjack Region Host - Mountain Sky Junior High
• Wildcat Region Host - Palo Verde Middle School
• Antelope Region Host - Cholla Middle School

Each team is guaranteed two games. The top two teams in each tournament are guaranteed a spot in Division I of the Charger Classic at the end of the season. Third place teams will be able earn a possible wild card during the cross regional games. 

Cross Regional Games -

After the regional tournaments are completed, each school will play two games against a team in another region.  Who the teams play is based on the places of the regional tournaments.

• First round of cross region games - Teams will play a team who placed the same in their respective regional tournaments. (1st vs. 1st, 2nd vs 2nd, 3rd v 3rd, 4th vs, 4th, and 5th v 5th).
• Second round of cross region games - To allow teams movement within the seeding, 3rd place teams will play 2nd place teams, and 4th place teams will be able to play 5th place teams.  1st place teams will play a different first place team.

These games are hosted at the schools and officiated by district staff.

Annual Charger Classic Championship Tournament

An annual tradition within the Â鶹Íø is the Charger Classic hosted at Cholla Middle School.

There are two divisions:

• Division I is made up of the top two teams in each region (total of eight teams), and possibly third place teams that make strong growth to earn a wild card.   Each team receives at least two games. The games are officiated by Â鶹Íø staff.
• Division II is made up of all other teams.  Each team receives at least two games. The games are officiated by Â鶹Íø staff.
