I think in order to become a great female basketball player is by playing basketball with boys.\n\nThe WNBA has eligibility requirements for all prospects which require that any woman (regardless of nationality) may sign a WNBA player contract provided that she meets one of the following:\n\nIs at least 22 years old during the calendar year of the applicable season \nHas completed her intercollegiate basketball eligibility \nHas graduated from a four-year college or university \nOr has played at least two seasons for another professional basketball league \n\nThere are a few ways that teams can fill their rosters. The WNBA Draft is very important because all of the top collegiate and international players are a part of the draft list. Also, teams do have the opportunity to conduct their own local try-out camps and could sign eligible players from their camp. \n\nIn order for you to get exposure you need to send the national office and individual teams current video tape of you playing in a organized game and also your resume. The resume should include collegiate stats and awards and if you have played overseas, you should include your international stats. \n\nOur coaches evaluate players from all conferences and divisions. We consistently look at Div. I, II, III and NAIA. We also read basketball publications, newspaper articles, conference updates, watch video tapes and attend games. It is our intention to find the best players in the nation and we respect all divisions. \n\nIn order for any player to be considered for the WNBA Pre-Draft Camp, she must meet the eligibility requirements and provide the league office with current game footage and a resume. We will evaluate the player to determine whether or not she has the skills to play at the next level. \n\nEach team evaluates the player talent and decides on whom they would like to draft. Drafting players is based on team needs, athleticism, knowledge of the game and the player's ability to perform at the next level.

I'm not sure where you go to school, but there are laws for public schools to abide by in order to make girls and boys sports more comparable.\n\nTry talking to your coach about setting up scrimmages with nearby girl's basketball teams (like a neighboring school).  If that doesn't work, to get you more "quality" game time, try talking (formal letters work well) to the athletic director or principal.  Be sure to ask about the legal aspects of girl's sports so he/she knows you're attempting to take it to the next level.  Get your parents or other trusted adults involved without complaining or whining.  Make your case in an objective, adultlike  manner.

Libraries or book stores.  \n\nI have a female friend who originally met a number of men she dated in the aisles of Walmart!\n\nMaybe there's an adult co-ed sport league you could join, if you're ok at whatever the sport is.\n\nAnd, as was mentioned:  If you have a church, become more active in it!  That's where you'll find the best women, anyway!  Good luck!

Ask some of your local businesses, that what most people do. Here a girl's softball team approached mine and another man's business and we contributed for Uniforms and some equipment. I even went to most of their Games and brought them Snacks and Drinks. It was fun and there many out there that will do this, IF, the team will go around and Ask and Inform the potential Sponsor(s)\nDo not underestimate the small businesses too, Heck, Bob's Bar and Grill may surprise you, or, Julie's Bouncing Animal Pet Shop. ;-)

The wnba has offered fans of professional basketball a chance to catch some action during the off-season.  It has definitely been a growing market for the past years, but it most likely will never achieve the wide audience of the nba.  It does have a positive outlook though, as more talented players are making a name for themselves and as they expand the teams and arenas.

The Euroleage has been thriving for some seasons now and basketball is very popular, particularly in Spain and some Eastern European countries. The standard of competition is very high indeed. One key thing to note is that the fundamentals in European teams are very very sound, some would say even more so than in the NBA, and every player will be expected to be able to set picks, do pick and rolls, shoot a decent mid range jump shot, set effective screens and so on. If you are with the air force, I would suggest trying to get a posting in Germany, where Basketball is getting increasingly popular, and perhaps seeing if you could play in a semi-professional league there first.
