Youth Basketball
-
-
CYM Basketball consists of youth focused on learning and playing the game of basketball. The program runs from grades third through high school with main focus on fourth through eighth graders. Players, parents and coaches travel to various diocesan parishes and play other CYM teams in their appropriate grade bracket. We also play home games in our Parish Center Gym. The season runs from Thanksgiving to the middle of March.Time commitment involves one hour weekly practice, as well as two hours for game time every Saturday. Parents are expected to volunteer their time to help with the responsibilities of maintaining the program such as collecting admission, keeping scoreboard and running the clock. Assistance is also needed with selling drinks and snacks.
Children require no training, but should participate in weekly practice. Adults interested in coaching must attend Virtus Training and the Rutgers Coaches training. In addition, all coaches need to be fingerprinted.

New uniforms can be ordered on our site for $70 if you are new to our program or your son or daughter needs a different size.
· Grade Levels and Team Assignments: The teams and divisions will be boys and girls teams in 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th grades and high school (JV and Varsity). We sometimes have to combine grades to complete rosters depending on registration numbers and availability of coaches and practice space. Requests to play for a specific coach or team will be considered, but we do not accept pre-formed teams.
· Uniforms: Uniforms will be the same as last season. If you are not sure of size, you may visit Personalized Paraphernalia on Division St. in Somerville during their regular hours.
· Volunteers and Coaches. Volunteers are always welcome. Right now we need coaches and assistant coaches for some of the younger grades for both boys and girls. We also need the help of parents and parishioners for all of our home games on Saturdays and Sundays from December through March and are always looking for volunteers for our Board! All volunteers must complete a background check and Virtus training.If you have any questions or are interested in coaching or volunteering, please e-mail us at stbernardnjcym@gmail.com. We look forward to seeing you all very soon. Thank you and God bless!"
