Although the interscholastic CYO program remains suspended indefinitely, parish CYO leaders plan to trial free open basketball gyms and clinics for boys and girls in grades 5-8 on weekends in late November and December. These activities, open to SJC parishioners and students of Mother of Providence Regional Catholic School, will help us determine if we can safely offer parish games and scrimmages to our youth in January.

Plans are still evolving, and space will be limited. One-time Participant Waivers and COVID Screening Questionnaires for each session will be required. Coaches will wear masks at all times. Kids will wear masks except when playing. No parents or spectators will be allowed.

Please contact CYO by Nov. 10 at sjccyo@gmail.com if you are interested.

Please note that this and other athletic activities are subject to cancellation at any time due to changing pandemic conditions.
