Girls Basketball
With a proud history dating back to the early 20th century, Abington Friends School has built a reputation around its Girls Basketball Program on and off the court.
Girls Basketball at AFS is a highly accomplished program that offers opportunities for students of all experience levels—from first-time players to future collegiate athletes.
