There are a lot of questions that come in, so hopefully this FAQ will help.
In order to be evaluated for a team, each player will need to register and pay the cost of the CYO season.

At this time, there will not be any in-house intramural program for the 2024/25 season.
All players are required to be evaluated for a team, must live within the St Bernard (or St James) parish boundaries or be a parishioner and pay the down payment. This is a rule of CYO of Long Island, not ours. If your parish isn’t offering a team for your child grade, or they do not have room for them to play on a team, and you are a resident that lives in the Levittown or Island Trees school district, please reach out to us for options. We will NOT be allowing walk-ups for the evaluations. Once evaluations are
complete and teams are formed, players that didn’t make a team or
players that no longer want to play CYO basketball will receive a full
refund. Once teams are formed and rostered, we will no longer be offering refunds.

Practices will be based on the coach’s schedule and will not be determined until teams are formed. Practices can take place weekdays after 4:30pm or on weekends. Each team will practice a min of 1x a week. Practices will take place at St Bernard and at the surrounding school’s gyms in Levittown and Island Trees.
Games will be played within the season time frame listed on our website. Games can be played weekdays after 6pm and on weekends. Game schedules will be released one week prior to the start of the season. Half of the games will be played at St Bernard, the other half at other local church gyms.
Cost of the uniform is separate and will run about $45. We will be using same uniforms as last season, so if it fits, your child will not need to buy a new one. Once teams are formed, an email will go out with sizing and ordering info.
Teams will also be entered into a second winter league. Winter league will consist of 10 additional games.
Starting in the 5th grade, if two teams can be formed, an "A" and a "B" team will be formed.
