Summer Baseball League
Crusader Basketball Summer League 2022 is back! We will play for three weeks in June on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Each team will play two games per night. There will be a change to the schedule though. On Tuesday nights, teams will play FIBA 3v3 games half court during their allotted game time slot. On Thursday nights, teams will play traditional 5v5 games full court. Cost is $500/team. Each team should have at least 8 available players for each night of the league. I am looking for 8 “Varsity” teams (incoming 8th graders) and 8 “JV” teams (incoming 7th) to compete in the league. I need your help in getting the word out to our players. Each team should have a parent or older sibling as the bench organizer. Players will sign up individually but play as part of their school teams. If necessary, I can combine groups of players to get at least 8 on a team roster.
Payments can be submitted by Venmo (@Dominic-Amorosa) or check (made payable to Crusader Basketball). Let me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to having your players compete. - Coach Amorosa damorosa@strakejesuit.org
