LWBBA is excited to announce the return of our Kang Basketball Day Camp on Monday, July 22 to Thursday, July 25 for boys & girls entering 3rd-8th grades. If you or someone you know might be interested, please spread the word! Spaces are limited, so act now.

Register now by going to and completing the registration form:   https://kangsbasketball.sportngin.com/register/form/761571365  

The 4-day camp will be run by LWHS Boys Basketball Coaches with fundamentals, games, and fun! Our high school varsity boy players serve as head counselors and other high school players serve as assistant counselors. The camper fee will be $225. Sessions will be divided with incoming 3-5th graders from 9:00am-11:30 am daily, and incoming 6-8th graders from12:30pm-3:00pm daily. The camp will be held at Lake Washington High School. 

Please share this information with any friends or family who might have an interested camper.

Starting on May 29, high school boys’ basketball temporarily shifts from a (non-cut) LWBBA run program into to a (non-cut) official LWHS program run by LWHS coaching staff and head coach Ryan Staudacher.  This “official” June Ball period is now open for registration, so please see the detailed instructions below. Please register NOW/ASAP and ensure you have a medical exam form on file as indicated below. 

June Ball Registration

You must register separately for this through the school district to participate in “June ball.” 

Step 1: Registration for “Summer Athletics” is now open through Final Forms available here: https://lakewashington-wa.finalforms.com/. Once you log in, click on the prompt at the top of the screen that says, “click here to switch to 2024-2025 registration.” From there you will see an option to add sports, then click on Summer 2024 Boys Basketball. You will be prompted to complete a long series of forms and ensure you have an up-to-date medical exam on file. Both parents and players will have forms to complete.

Step 2: After you register in Final Forms, you will later pay the school fee prior to the first practice, which is $60 for Summer Boys Basketball. Students who qualify for free or reduced lunch can have the fees waived). To pay the fee, visit: https://wa-lakewashington.intouchreceipting.com/ 

Important: Players will NOT be able to attend their first practice until all of step 1 and step 2 are completed. So, please make sure you get registered asap!

Additional information is available at https://lwhs.lwsd.org/athletics and https://lwhs.lwsd.org/athletics/summer. If you have questions about this process, contact the LWHS Athletic Department. [Note: This Summer/June Ball process is NOT run by LWBBA, so please direct any questions about the process to the LWHS Athletics Department, not me].  

June Ball Schedule (Starting May 29)

• Coach Staudacher will host a parent/player after the first practice on Weds May 29th at 5:30pm in the LWHS gym.
• Due to LWHS rules, the first day incoming 9th graders are allowed to participate in June Ball with official high school coaching staff is June 8.  As such, LWBBA plans to offer some alternative skills sessions for incoming 9th graders who already paid their annual LWBBA fee and have been participating in Spring Ball skills sessions. These sessions would occur between May 29-June 8 for those players only. We will communicate information about that separately to incoming 9th graders.
• Scroll down and click on the June/July schedules to see the prelim schedule for this summer. 
• We expect that players placed on JV/V teams will play in a Woodinville tournament on June 8-9.
• All teams will play the weekend of June 14-16 (Kang Classic) at LWHS.    
•  On July 22-25, we will host our annual youth Kang Youth Camp. Our high school players will serve as counselors and assistant counselors.

As a reminder, team placement decisions and rotations that LWHS Coaches make this summer are for June ball placement ONLY. In addition, while all registered students can practice during June ball, that does not mean they will be guaranteed playing time during June Ball games. Earning playing time in games is a decision made by LWHS coaches at their discretion.  

 After June Ball, players will return to play LWBBA-led Fall Ball (non-cut), which includes off-season league play and practices from September-November. If you registered for LWBBA Annual 2024 registration then you already enrolled in Fall Ball.  Then in November, any player or student can compete in official tryouts for the LWHS winter season.

Please take care of your summer registration asap! 

LWWBA offseason training sessions (incoming 9th-12th graders)  rostered on the new “LWBBA Team” team will begin in March 2024.
