Formally known (for 30 years!) as the Girls Basketball Association (GBA), coached by Jeff Iannazzo as a program of the City of Norwalk Recreation and Parks Department, GBA is now the Norwalk Carver Center Girls Basketball Association. Carver’s Recreation Coordinator, Shannon Singleton-Bates, and many other Carver alumni and present-day Carver staff were GBA players growing up. The travel basketball league used to run out of the Ben Franklin Center in Norwalk.
Carver has a long history of operating boys travel basketball leagues. The Norwalk Carver Center Girls Basketball Association will be Carver’s first all-girls basketball league. We are excited to start this new chapter.
Growing up, basketball is a big part of life for many Carver students, providing them with teammates, coaches, and mentors who are like family long after our young people graduate from high school.
