If you have two daughters who both want to play basketball in Regina, the straight answer is this: HoopLife's Girls Only sessions run for ages 7 to 13, cost is shared through a Family Pack that both kids can use, and you do not need to pick the same format for each child. One daughter can start in Girls Only skills while the other plays in the HoopLife League, and both can run off the same pack of credits.
That question comes up a lot from parents with more than one kid who wants to play. The short version is that HoopLife does not force every sibling into the same box. Here is how to actually sort it out.
What is the difference between Girls Only sessions and the HoopLife League?
Girls Only sessions are weekly, one hour a week, year round, and built for girls ages 7 to 13 in Regina. They are coached by women who have played the game at a high level, and the room is capped at 16 spots so the coaching stays close. There is no season commitment attached, which makes it a good landing spot for a daughter who just wants to learn the game in a room that is hers.
The HoopLife League is different. It runs in 10-week seasons, with real games built into every week, for girls grades 1 through 8. Younger grades play 3x3 on hoops set to their height, and grades 5 and up play full-court 5v5. There is no tryout. Coaches sort players by age and ability once the season starts, on the floor, so nobody has to audition to get a spot.
If one daughter is younger or newer to the game and the other already knows her way around a gym, they do not have to do the same thing. A lot of HoopLife families run one daughter through Girls Only sessions for the skill work and the other through a league season for the games, in the same building, on the same week.
Can both daughters share one basketball program in Regina, cost-wise?
Yes. The Family Pack is built exactly for this. It is $225 for 5 credits or $750 for 20, one-time and good for a year, and the credits are shared across the whole family rather than locked to one kid. Those credits work for Basketball Training, Girls Only sessions and 3x3, so if your daughters want to try different formats you are not buying two separate things to figure out what sticks.
It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, so there is no renewal to track and no schedule you are locked into. You use the credits whenever it suits your family, which matters when two kids have two different school schedules and two different energy levels on a Tuesday night.
How do I know which class is right for my daughter's age?
A simple way to think about it: younger girls (around 7 to 10) who are new to basketball usually do best starting in Girls Only sessions, because the hour is built entirely around them, with no boys in the room and no pressure to already know what a pick and roll is. Girls closer to 11 to 14 who already have some basketball under their belt often want the Girls Only room for the coaching, or the League for the competition, or both.
If your daughter is unsure, call or text HoopLife at (306) 993-4570 and talk it through before you book anything. The coaches will ask where she is at and tell you honestly what fits, rather than pointing you at whatever has open spots.
For a family trying this for the first time, the $10 Get Started package is worth knowing about. It puts a kid on the floor with a coach who gives an honest read on where she is and what program actually fits, before you commit to anything bigger.
Does Girls Only, or the League, sell out in Regina?
Yes, plainly. Girls Only sessions are capped at 16 spots and they do fill, and HoopLife League divisions are capped at 6 players per team for 3x3 and 10 per team for 5v5, and the popular grades fill too. If you are deciding between two daughters and two formats, do not sit on it. Spots are limited and they go, so get on it once you have picked a lane for each kid.
For more on why a room built just for girls changes how a daughter shows up to the gym, HoopLife has written about that directly in Girls Basketball in Regina: Why a Gym of Her Own Changes Everything, which is worth a read if you are still deciding between a girls-only room and a mixed league team.
What do I actually need to bring or set up before the first class?
Nothing complicated. Indoor shoes, athletic clothing, a water bottle, and a basketball if she has one. If she does not, HoopLife has extras on hand. League game jerseys are provided at the building on league days, so there is nothing extra to buy or remember for that side of things. Parents are welcome to stay and watch every week, and the HoopLife Centre at 661 Solomon Cres in Regina has a viewing lounge and washrooms on site.
