Hello CYO families and friends-
CYO registration will be opened this week, and continue for player registration until September 30, 2023. The cost for the CYO basketball program is $300 per child. Boys and girls currently in grades 5-8, who are members of Corpus Christi Parish can register. Boys and girls who are not Parishioners or non-Catholic can register to participate. For non-Parishioners, a copy of your child’s Baptismal Certificate is required and non-Catholics must submit a copy of your child’s Birth Certificate. Certificates can be dropped off in the Corpus Christi Parish office during Open Registration period.
Ideally, we will register players, obtain coaches and begin practices in mid-October. Returning players can wear their Corpus Christi uniforms. New players can purchase new uniforms in early October. Players who have outgrown their uniform can also purchase new uniform in October. The cost for uniform is separate from CYO registration and will be $65.
In the previous 12 seasons, I have accepted every player and created balanced teams at the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade levels for boys and girls. Our Parish consistently has the most teams in the League, as a player is never cut from the Program.
We will start our team practices in mid-October, and CYO League games will start in late November. The season will run into early February with regular season games – primarily played on Sundays. Playoffs will start in mid-February and finish in the first weekend in March.
Lastly, I recognize that no youth basketball program has finalized their operational plans. Both town-based Travel/Rec and AAU Teams are developing their programs. Withdrawing your player from a Youth Basketball Program places enormous, and sometimes frustrating work on the Volunteers who run the Programs. My ask is that, if you register for Corpus Christi CYO basketball, you honor the commitment you are making when registering your child(ren).
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions for the Corpus Christi CYO basketball program.
The next update will be published on or before October 31, 2023.
Best regards,
