Welcome to The Ladies Ball - home to national girls youth basketball events being produced in partnership with the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame. We are inviting nominations for our Fall 2026 National Championships for teams from 4th grade to 9th grade to compete.
National Championship for 4th-9th Grade Teams
This event features the top youth teams at the national elite level across 4th-9th grades. In October 2026, the best girls basketball teams will compete to represent their region in a nationwide bracket tournament to win the title of National Champion!
Each year, the best in women’s basketball are memorialized at the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in Knoxville, TN. Now, the top girl's basketball teams in the world will earn the right to be honored and become a part of basketball history.
The mission of the Hall of Fame is to honor the past, celebrate the present, and promote the future of women’s basketball. This championship event serves as the official welcome party for the future stars of women’s basketball.
"We’re excited to partner with The Ladies Ball Tournament and always support the growth of the girls game in the U.S. All athletes deserve a stage and we’re opening our doors and arms to all teams that compete on their journey to Knoxville. Connecting the great history of our game with the future of it is always a priority for our team." -Dana Hart, President WBHOF
