Registration for 3rd - 8th grade closes on September30th. It is important that you register during this time so we have the time needed to get the league setup and ready. Those who do not register by the deadline will be subject to a $75 late fee, and with the condition that we have a spot on a current team available for you to join.
We try to limit the teams to a maximum of 10 players. Returning players will be placed with their existing team unless it becomes necessary to reorganize teams due to an increase or decrease in the number of teams. New players will be placed on teams based on team needs. The Basketball Committee does everything it can to ensure that anyone who wants to play has a place to play. However, we cannot guarantee enough teams/coaches to accommodate everyone. Open slots will be filled on a first come, first registered basis. If St. Joe cannot field a team, we will work with the family to find space on a team with a neighboring parish.
We try to keep our costs to a reasonable level for everyone, as our mission is to encourage as many players from the parish to join us as possible. After having to increase our fees the last few season, we are very pleased to announce that this year's fee is the same as last year, thanks to our generous sponsors. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor please visit the Sponsorship Program page.
Registration costs for Grades 3 – 8 will be $130 for the first child and an additional $100 for each additional child. Children must be from same household to receive the multi-child discount.
Registration includes a jersey and matching shorts that will need to be returned after the season is over. We ask that the kids bring their own ball (of proper size) with their name written on it.
Basketball sizes:
Girls:
3rd & 4th grade – 27.5”
5th – 8th grade – 28.5”
Boys:
3rd – 5th grade – 28.5”
6th – 8th grade – 29.5”
Practices will start in December and the 10 game season will begin in January. Your coaches will inform you of the exact dates and times.
ALL children AND coaches are Required to have a valid CYC ID card. Cards can be ordered from the CYC website, https://idcards.cycstl.net/. If you or your child doesn’t have one already, please order as soon as possible to ensure you have it prior to the start of the season.
If you have questions, please contact your coach.
New 3rd grade teams will be formed after registration has closed. Please be sure to add notes as to whom your child’s friends are and who they would like to play with. This helps in the process a great deal, but does not guarantee placement with all individuals named in the notes.
2nd Grade Training Camp.
We are once again happy offer a training camp for the 2nd graders. Registration is open September 1st through November 15th. The cost is $50 per child and the camp will run one hour a week for 8 weeks starting in January (Dates & Times TBD). Each child will need to bring a ball, size 27.5”/28.5”.
The camp is led by a member of the basketball committee but needs several parent volunteers to operate successfully. Please contact the St. Joe Basketball Director with any questions and/or volunteer to be a helper.
We look forward to having you join us once again for another great season of basketball!
If you have any questions, or would like some information on refereeing, coaching, or volunteering opportunities, please contact the Basketball Director.
