CYM Basketball consists of youth focused on learning and playing the game of basketball. The program runs from grades third through high school with main focus on fourth through eighth graders. Players, parents and coaches travel to various diocesan parishes and play other CYM teams in their appropriate grade bracket. We also play home games in our Parish Center Gym. The season runs from Thanksgiving to the middle of March.
Time commitment involves one hour weekly practice, as well as two hours for game time every Saturday. Parents are expected to volunteer their time to help with the responsibilities of maintaining the program such as collecting admission, keeping scoreboard and running the clock. Assistance is also needed with selling drinks and snacks.
Children require no training, but should participate in weekly practice. Adults interested in coaching must attend Virtus Training and the Rutgers Coaches training. In addition, all coaches need to be fingerprinted.
