INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL PROGRAM The Intramurals Program is for boys in grades 3rd through 8th residing in the parish. Intramurals builds upon the Clinic program and introduces the team concepts of league play. It is not a prerequisite for the child to have participated in the Clinic. This is an intra-parish league with no try outs and all children receive equal playing time. Intramurals is highly instructional and introduces children to competitive team play with a strong emphasis on sportsmanship. All of the boy’s teams play Saturdays at the SJST gym. The season starts in November. All participants receive a team T-shirt.

CYO BASKETBALL The CYO Program is for parishioners with children in grades K through 12. These are competitive teams that participate against other parishes in the SI CYO Program. Children must try out for SJSTSJN teams that have been entered in the SI CYO Program. Playing time is discretionary and is governed by the Diocesan CYO guidelines. Our CYO Program adheres to the CYO Code of Ethics promoting sportsmanship and Catholic values. All CYO basketball players MUST also play in Intramurals. CYO games are scheduled through the CYO and may be played at any SI CYO parish court. CYO Players may need to purchase the team uniform at the time of selection to the team.

CLINIC BASKETBALL PROGRAM The Clinic is for parishioners with children in grades K through 2nd. The program is an introduction to the game of basketball focusing on rules, basic skill sets and sportsmanship. The Clinic Program is non-competitive and very highly instructional. The Clinic Program is held on Saturdays at St. John Neumann. The Clinic Program begins in November and concludes in February. All participants receive a T-shirt.
