The DeForest Area Girls Youth Basketball Association (DAGYBA) was established in 2007 in efforts to promote the importance and value of sportsmanship, hard work, and dedication; all while having fun learning the game of basketball.  DAGYBA is a non-profit organization that sponsors the 3rd grade through 8th grade girls’ basketball program in the DeForest Area School District.  New players are always welcome!

Thank you to those of you who were able to join us for our kick-off meeting!  The slides we reviewed at the meeting are linked below.
