Hello Crusaders, 

As our fall sports head into their final month and playoff preparations begin, we are busy planning for our basketball season. It officially starts on 11/2/22.  

Registration for basketball will begin today and close on October 28th. After registrations are completed, we will announce the schedule for evaluations. Evaluations will start on November 2nd. We anticipate evaluations possibly being scheduled over the first two weeks of November. 

When signing up for basketball this year, you will be asked to note, “Regional” or “Parish.”

Regional basketball is our most competitive level. Practices can be 3-4x a week with games throughout the week. Play time is not guaranteed at this level but as a parish we will make every effort to give every player a meaningful experience. A high commitment level is expected for regional basketball, and it should be your primary sport and team from November-February. Regional players are expected to attend the evaluation which could include 3-4 sessions. 

Parish basketball is less competitive than the regional level. Equal play time is mandatory for each player. Practices are scheduled for 1-2x a week, with 1 game per week. 

Both levels have tournament options for teams. Playoffs are available for each level at the end of the season in February. Players who are playing at “parish” level will not need to attend the initial evaluations. All are encouraged to attend but it is not necessary.  

If you have any questions regarding your child’s selection for basketball, please reach out before attending our evaluations.                            

If you have an interest to coach any of our teams, please make sure your clearances are updated and send your interest to Joe.Rodia@chesterbrookacademy.com.   

More detailed information will be released on the evaluation process once registrations are completed. Please make registration a priority, as we have several plans to make and understanding our registrations will be very helpful to our basketball planning.

Thank you,

GO CRUSADERS!
