CYO Basketball Registration

Registration is open for coaches and players in grades 4-8. Registration fee is $105

Registration is open until October 29th, 2018.

If you do not register your child by this date, we cannot guarantee that they will be able to participate in CYO basketball this year.

Assessments for teams will take place beginning the week of October 30th (unless your child’s team is in Soccer Playoffs that week). For 4th and 5th grade, teams will be separated by gender and the teams will split up as evenly as possible. For 6th – 8th grade there will be Varsity and JV teams for both Boys and Girls. Independent assessors will be evaluating to separate the teams according to CYO rules. Practices will start the week after assessments.

Games start the weekend of 11/16/2018. There is a week off for Thanksgiving, then one game each weekend for the first three weekends of December. There are then four games (one per weekend) between January 5th and January 27th.  Playoffs will be held for 6th – 8th grade the first two weeks of February.

Your child’s specific practice and game schedule will be communicated by your child’s coach following the assignment of teams.
