FAQs

How will I know when registration is open?

Returning players will receive notification prior to the start of registration at the email address that we have on file from last season. We are not compiling a separate email address for other players. Please consider checking this website for updates regarding registration.

What is the level of commitment for my child?

Basketball is a team game. In fairness to all members of the team, your child’s full participation in all practices and games is requested. If a player is sick or injured, he or she is expected to refrain from practices and games (and in the case of illness, team activities).

I am interested in coaching or volunteering, what do I do?

If you are interested in coaching or acting as a volunteer, sign in to our registration site and complete the CYO Volunteer Application. A representative of the program will contact you to follow-up on your interest.

When is the coordinators meeting?

The meeting for St. Isidore grade coordinators will take place after the conclusion of the evaluation period in late September.

When is the St. Isidore coaches meeting?

The St. Isidore coaches meeting is at the end of September to early October. The specific dates will be posted on the website calendar.
