Built for Ballers. Powered by Purpose.

Bainbridge Roots Basketball is a year-round, competitive development program for boys and girls in grades 4–8. We train hard, play harder, and compete across Washington against top-tier talent. From local leagues and regional tournaments to major state championships, we prepare our athletes for high school basketball—and life beyond hoops.

Always On Point

From summer skills clinics to pre-season camps, Roots keeps the momentum going by creating opportunities for young ballers to have a ball in their hands year round. Our program directors and expert coaching staff run high-level training designed to build fundamental skills, on and off court confidence, and total player IQ.

Fall 3x3 League

Built and led by Coach Will Ferris, the Head Coach of the USA Basketball Men's 3x3 National Team, this league is designed for 4th–8th graders, boys and girls. Four Sundays starting September 6th at the Bainbridge Island High School "Paski" Gym.

Sign up as an individual — you can request a teammate, and we'll do our best to make it happen (not guaranteed, but we'll try!).

Every player will receive 3x3 skill instruction based on USA Basketball standards, at least 10 3x3 games, plus a double-elimination playoff bracket on the final weekend. Games move fast — expect about 3 games in a 2-hour window each Sunday.

Times and Divisions:
- Girls, Grades 4–6 (9-11am)
- Boys, Grades 4–6 (9-11am)
- Girls, Grades 7–8 (12-2pm)

Fall Skills Sessions

We're excited to introduce a brand-new addition to the fall lineup: Roots Fall Skills Sessions. Twice a week, players will train together to build the fundamentals that translate directly to game performance — footwork, ball handling, finishing, and decision-making — using a Constraints-Led Approach (CLA), a modern, game-based coaching style that's changing the way young athletes develop.

Sessions are led by Davey Rohrbacher, a former college basketball player and coach with 15+ years of experience training youth athletes, and Arissan Nicole ("Coach A") — a youth coach and trainer — with current BHS players on hand to help coach and mentor.

Details:

  • Who: Grades 4–8, co-ed
  • When: Mondays & Wednesdays, 6:00–7:15 PM
  • Where: Woodward Middle School
  • Dates: September 14 – October 28 (14 sessions total; no sessions on Oct 5 & 7)
Program Registration: $280
