Basketball Registration

St. Jerome CYO will once again offer basketball for boys and girls ages 5-14 this winter.  Practices will begin in November (October for 12u and 14u) and games will start in December.  Practices are usually during the week between 5pm and 8pm.  Our primary location is SJA gym but we may use other gyms in the area.

Games at the 6u, 8u, 10u and 12u will most likely be on Saturdays at St Jerome.  14u games will be at various high schools in the DC area on Saturday or Sundays.  Below is some more information about each level.

6u Coed:  An instructional league that plays with 8ft baskets.  The goal is to teach the very basics of the game...rules, dribbling and passing are focal points.  Coaches are needed and welcomed!  Skills n Drills sessions will start in October on Sundays.  Games will not start until January.

8u Coed:  Also an instructional league but played with 9ft baskets.  The basic fundamentals are stressed but more advanced skills like fundamental layups and form shooting are also stressed.  Coaches are needed and welcomed!  Skills n Drills sessions will start in October on Sundays.  Games will not start until January.

10u boys and girls:  A more competitive environment but perfectly fine for the first time player.  In addition to the fundamentals, game strategy is introduced along with team defensive concepts.  Practices will begin in December and games will be on Saturdays from Jan-February.   Coaches are needed and welcomed!

12u boys and girls:  12u boys is normally split up between two teams...an advanced and a beginners team.  Game play is competitive at this level but there is still room for the novice player.  12u girls is usually still somewhat a team of beginners and game play is not as competitive and is a great place for the first-time player.  12u has coaches lined up but welcome anyone interested in assisting.  

14u Boys and Girls:  These teams are usually filled with players who have at least some game play experience and who know the rules and have a firm grasp of the basics...dribbling, passing and shooting.  14u has two levels...an elite level team and a standard level team. 14u girls may also have two level this season depending upon interest.
