About Cardinal Flight Basketball

Cardinal Flight is a non-profit organization which provides girls in 3rd through 8th grade opportunities for basketball skills development. Those opportunities include skills clinics, scheduled practices, participation on a traveling team, and access to other basketball related educational activities. The season typically runs from October through March, though timing of specific activities varies with league tournament scheduling and availablility of non-tournament events. Our questions and answers page has more information.

Cardinal Flight has an elected board of directors that oversees the operation of the organization. The board schedules a monthly meeting, open to all members, during the basketball season to report on Cardinal Flight activities, address any issues brought up by the membership, and provide accounting for the organization finances.

As a volunteer organization, Cardinal Flight relies heavily on parents to dedicate time to support the girls' activities. Hosting league tournaments is a major fund-raising activity for the organization and requires participation of many parents to be successfull.
