About the Junior Girls Basketball League

The Junior Girls Basketball League offers girls in grades 5th through 8th the opportunity to improve their basketball skills while playing with other athletes that will challenge and push them to improve. Through our league and professional assistance, middle-school aged girls will continue to develop their basketball skills while competing in tournaments and clinics with other athletes that want to become better players.

William Avery Jr.

Co-Owner of Between The Lines Sports Group and The Junior Girls Basketball League

Will Avery is a retired Professional Basketball Player. He is no stranger to high-level basketball, having played at the highest levels throughout his career. In high school, Avery stared at the prestigious Oak Hill Academy while earning Parade All-American honors. During his college career at Duke University, he led his teams to a 69-6 record, 2 ACC regular season titles, 1 ACC Tournament title, 1 Elite 8, and 1 National Runner-up while becoming an All-ACC selection in 2 seasons for the Blue Devils. In 1999 the Minnesota Timberwolves selected Avery with the 14th pick overall in the 1st round. Avery went on to play 12 years between the NBA and Europe.

Since retirement, Avery has been extremely active in the community with events like Hoops for Hunger, where he leads a group that feeds the people in the neighborhood in which he grew up for Thanksgiving. Helping kids understand the importance of giving back to their community is always a priority. The park where Avery grew up playing is now named after him; He has received an NAACP Image Award, and was awarded the Key to the City in Augusta, GA. 

To stay around the game, Avery started the Will Avery Basketball Academy, where he trains and mentors players. With one of his 2 daughters taking an interest in basketball, Avery decided to coach travel ball. In those 5 years, over 40 girls that he worked with received Scholarships. Avery with partner Roy Peake run several events to help kids develop and receive exposure. With all that said, the biggest accomplishment is probably his recent return to Duke University to finish his degree.
