CYO Basketball registration is now open! Registration is open to all students in Kindergarten – 8 grades. Registration will close on November 16. There will not be any registration extensions, so get your child signed up today! Please register at the site below:
We will have a very short window to get our children registered, so please get them signed up today! There will be lots to do in a short amount of time this year to get this program up and running for the children. I will be sending out more information probably daily as it comes to me from the CYO. There will be COVID-19 protocols that will have to be followed. I have attached the CYO's return to play plan in this email. Please review these protocols. I know we are all beyond over COVID-19, but if we want our kids playing, we will have to follow the rules. As you register your child, their are several waivers you will be digitally signing. Please make sure you read them carefully! Coaches please renew your CAPPS training ASAP!
I will let everyone know if the next few days when practices will start. Games will start the week of January 4th. Game schedules will not be available until about a week before the regular season starts. Games are played in Mobile at several locations, as well as Christ the King, depending on the division. Most games will take place on Saturday, with the possibility of a few weekday games. The only division that may differ is the K5 and 1st grade. These games will likely be played on Monday and Tuesday nights in Mobile. Once teams are formed and coaches selected, practice times and other related information will be emailed to the parents. Depending on the number of athletes that sign up in each division, certain groups may have to split into more than one team. If a group has to split into two teams, the coaches will evaluate the players, and divide teams evenly. It is imperative that teams are as equal as possible. Teams can only be split based on balance and not other factors! Boys uniforms are the same for all grades 0 - 8th! The uniform includes a reversible jersey and shorts. Make sure you have the shorts that are available for purchase during registration. They are part of our uniform and all kids need to have the same complete uniform! Girls in all grades will wear the sleeveless jerseys the volleyball teams wear. Please purchase shorts during the registration process if you do not have any from last year, as they are part of the uniform.
When signing your son/daughter up for sports, please be respectful of the coach's time. Coaches are volunteers and it is difficult to teach our children when they are not at practice due to other activities. Please check your schedules to make sure you can fully commit to your children being at practice and games! When selecting a basketball number for your child, they have to be legal basketball numbers! These are legal numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 00, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, and 55.
