Basketball

Registration is now open for the 2023 Diocesan Parish Basketball League. The league will run on Saturdays and Sundays from early January through the end of February. Games will once again be at Our Lady of Providence Parish in Worcester.

We will also try again to have a girls league this year! We did not have luck last year getting enough teams but if we can get enough teams to sign up we will move forward with a girls league. Team registrations, rosters, and rules/policies will be the same as the boys league (see below).

Team registration is due by December 9, 2022. 

Below are links to the registration, roster, CORI, release, and Ministerial Code of Conduct Signature forms as well as the Ministerial Code of Conduct itself & basketball rules. The fee for the season is $1400 per team and can be paid in 2 installments. The first installment of $700 is due with your registration and roster by December 9, 2022. The second installment is due by January 27, 2023.

Team registrations will be handled online. To sign up a team, please submit the online team registration and online roster form no later than December 9, 2022. Links to these can be found below:
