Registration is open for CYO Basketball for coaches and players. Just like for Fall Sports, you can register for Basketball online!
Registration DEADLINE: October 27th, 2016. 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.
Online Registration (Sports Pilot)
This year we have a new system to manage all program information, registration details, communications, and payment processing. It will be necessary for all parents/coaches and to do a one-time account creation to setup their families and children. Coaches with kids in the system will use the same account as their children to register as a volunteer when sport registrations open. Coaches without children will just need to create their own account and volunteer. Parents will also use the system to register and pay (credit card/debit) for various sport programs. We will no longer be using paper registration or cash/check payments. The new registration system will handle many of the tasks coaches, parents, and coordinators have done manually. The tool also allows for easy communication across sports programs, teams, grades, individuals, etc. The system will also be a great resource of information to parents regarding sports season dates, registration periods, etc.
