Hello CYO families and friends-
The CYO season has been approved to begin on January 8, 2022. CYO registration will open in the on-line format from October 1-25, 2021. The cost for the CYO basketball program is $275 per child. Boys and Girls currently in grades 5-8, who are members of Corpus Christi 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 early November. New uniforms will be ordered for all players. The cost for uniform is separate from CYO registration and will be $50.
In the previous 10 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 November, and CYO League games will start in January. The season looks to
be 9 weeks long, with 9-10 games being scheduled before Playoffs begin. The CYO League is committed to ending the Season by the first weekend in March, 2022.
Lastly, I recognize that no youth basketball program has finalized their operational plans. Both town-based Travel 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, 2021.
