Basketball
Clinics
(Saturday coed - Jim McCool )
(Friday Girls -Ellen Collins)
K-2nd Grade. We have 2 separate clinics that
provide an introduction to basketball and are held at the SFDS GYM.
The Saturday morning Clinic is coed and the Friday afternoon clinic
is for girls only. The Program starts in mid-November and runs until
the week before Palm Sunday.
CYO
Basketball
( Marty Andresen )
3-8th Grade. SFDS CYO fields one boys &
one girls team per grade in grades 5-8 and two teams per grades
3-4. Because space is limited, some players may not be selected.
THIS IS A COMPETITIVE PROGRAM THAT REQUIRES TRYOUTS
Tryouts begin the second week of Sept. the
church bulletin will announce the exact tryout dates for each team.
Teams practice once a week at the SFDS GYM and play most games on
weekends at home and at various GYMs throughout Queens. Players
buy uniforms. This program requires more parental support than other
programs-parents are needed to supervise the gym on weekends, collect
admission, score keeping and running the kitchen during the season
and at our 2 annual tournaments. Parents not willing to do these
required jobs should not have their child participate (For a less
competitive Program that does not require tryouts, see Boys &
Girls Intramural Basketball.
Boys & Girls Intramurals
( Boys - Keith Goldberg)
(Girls - Elaine Scotto)
3-8th Grades. Unlike CYO Basketball, this Program is considered
"noncompetitive" in that there are NO tryouts
and every player signing up is assigned to a team. We try to have
a smaller # of players for each team (not to exceed 10) so that
players get more playing time until they gain more experience. We
attempt to balance skills levels in order to have competitive games
and positive coaching. For the upcoming season, we are planning
a full schedule of girl's games on Fri evenings and Sat afternoons
and evenings from early October to late November with 10 regular
season games. Having the girl's season at this time will allow us
to utilize the GYM before the regular season boys & girls CYO
teams are in full swing and will not conflict with Girl's CYO Swimming.
The boys season will begin after Boy's CYO Swimming is completed
and run from mid-March to Spring. Games will be on Fri nights, Sat
afternoons and evening and Sunday afternoons, if needed. CYO players
are permitted to play and be spread evenly among the teams. All
games are held at the SFDS GYM, and as a result, PARENTAL SUPPORT
IS REQUIRED.
