Jennifer Sterling and Humanities Iowa present 6-on-6 Girl's Basketball in Iowa: Traditions, Transitions and Legacies in person at the KC Hall and virtually via Zoom.
Join us Tuesday, April 26 at 10 a.m. at the KC Hall, 123 W. Third St., for this month's meeting of the Reminisce Society.
For most of the 20th century, Iowa was known for its devotion to a unique form of women's sports known as 6-on-6 girl's basketball. As other states abandoned 6-on-6 in the 1970s, Iowa remained committed to this half-court game until 1993, when the final 6-player championship was held. This multi-media presentation recounts Iowa's 6-on-6 history, connects it to the development of girls' and women's sports in the United States and welcomes audience members to share their own memories and collections.
