Jr. Basketball Program

Basketball is also available to all the 3^rd and 4^th grade boys and girls in the parish.  This program will begin the second weekend in December and continue into March.  The program puts a large emphasis on learning the fundamentals of the game.  Practices are Friday evenings and Saturday mornings.  Once again, even though the program does not begin until December, please register now.  It is important to know how many athletes we will have for planning purposes.

Cheerleading

Cheerleading is offered to girls in 7^th and 8^th grades for Basketball season.  Char Story will be the cheerleading coordinator.  There are several Watterson girls set to help with coaching.  To register, just print the St. Agatha Winter Sports form and return it to the office.

Diocesan Basketball

St. Agatha participates in the Diocesan Basketball League for both boys and girls in grades 5-8.  The league is open to all active members of the Parish.  The 7^th and 8^th grade leagues are competitive.  This means there will be tryouts to make the Varsity team.  The Basketball Commissioner, Todd Raish, and the Coaches will select the teams.  It is always our goal to keep a class together when participating in Athletics.  Sometimes, because of the number of athletes participating or the unique abilities of an athlete at the Varsity level, it may be necessary to combine 7^th and 8^th grade students.  As always, our goal is to provide the best overall experience to each athlete.

The commitment to Basketball is a large one.  The 7^th and 8^th grade Boys often practice off site at McDonald Sports complex off Bethel Road so they can practice on a full size court.  Most of our Diocesan teams will practice at least three times a week, some more, until games begin.  The first day practice can begin is November 1.  The games will begin the second weekend in December.
