Welcome to the home of the 24-6A Lady Gators Basketball site, the Gators are compiled of female student-athletes in grades 9-12 who compete on the Freshman, Junior Varsity, or Varsity levels.  The Lady Gators basketball season starts mid-October and ends on the 1st of March. Dickinson High School is the home of the 2007 Lady Gators state runner-ups, 2023-2024 District Champs, numerous district superlatives, and countless other graduates who play in college. Games and tournaments take place nightly on Tuesdays and Fridays, and on some weekends.  Practices are daily before or after school.  Home games are played at Dickinson High School.  Every participant must have a physical clearance from a medical doctor and try out yearly in October. The Lady Gators are led by the 24-6A Coach of the Year Toya Peterson.

As a parent what will be needed from me?

Ensure your daughter is a great student, who works hard daily while competing at a high level.  Parents are also needed to be positive advocates for the program while promoting, marketing, and retaining parents alike

"If you are going to have an experience, let's make it enjoyable and worth it for everyone"


Are all activities, games/tournaments, and practices mandatory?

Nothing is mandatory, just like being in the program. Playing time is not mandatory as well. We do ask that all families make a commitment and dedicate all their efforts while participating in the Lady Gators Basketball program
