In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of girls playing basketball.
According to the Women’s Basketball Association (WBA), as of 2016 there were over 3.2 million girls playing organized basketball in the United States alone.
This is a huge increase from when the WBA was founded in 1996, when only 1.9 million girls played organized basketball.
Girls have not only started playing basketball at younger ages, but they are also staying with the sport for longer periods of time.
Does your little girl play basketball? If you're looking for the best basketball gifts for the young girl in your life then look no further.
How to introduce basketball to your daughter
Basketball is an incredibly fun and exciting sport to play.
The sport requires quick reflexes and agility, which makes for an thrilling game to watch or participate in.
Basketball requires a strong foundation of skills. The WBA suggests that new players have some experience playing the game before trying to start a team or club, and encourages newcomers to learn these four fundamental basketball basics: dribbling, shooting, passing and defense.
All of these skills can be honed without the need of a full court, and budding female athletes really can start early.
One of the true beauties of basketball is that acquiring the skills to play well don't require much equipment, it mainly requires drive. However, for the small amounts of equipment it does need, we at Meland have you covered.
