Basketball

We are excited to announce that the basketball league will once again be taking place! The league will run on Saturdays and Sundays from early January through early March. Games will once again be at Our Lady of Providence Parish in Worcester.

We are also excited to announce that we will be attempting to run a girl's league for the first time! Team registrations, rosters, and rules/policies will be the same as the boys league (see below).

Team registration is due by December 10, 2021. We will have an informational coaches’ meeting in December TBD.

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 $1,400 per team and can be paid in 2 installments. The first installment of $700 is due with your registration and roster by December 10, 2021. The second installment is due by January 28, 2022.

Team registrations will be handled online this year. To sign up a team, please submit the online team registration and online roster form no later than December 10, 2021. Links to these can be found below:
