CYO Sports

Please use the following link to register for the 2021-2022 CYO Basketball Season:
https://reg.sportspilot.com/106599/leagues         

Age Cut Off: November 30th

Registration also includes those parents interested in being head or assistant coaches for the season. All Coaches must be Virtus certified – this includes a Livescan (digital) fingerprinting.

We will communicate the dates and times for Mid-Atlantic team tryouts for both the 12u and 14u, girls and boys teams. As a reminder, the Mid-Atlantic Basketball teams play at the highest level of CYO basketball, participating in 3 to 4 local CYO tournaments, with their season typically beginning the weekend following Thanksgiving. The other CYO divisions (Tournament and Non-Tournament) play a full schedule of games commencing in early January, with 1 or 2 tournament opportunities scheduled throughout the season. For now, the most important thing is for parents to register interested players so we can begin to assess our numbers and assemble team rosters.
 
Please forward any questions to:

DC CYO is planning and has permits in place for Winter Basketball. We are unsure what COVID restrictions may be in place, but based on the current requirements, we expect that spectators, coaches, and at least bench players would be required to wear masks.

10U and 12U Non-Tournament divisions-While these are traditionally January start dates, we are planning to have some early starts for at least some divisions to start December 4^th just like all the other Tournament and Mid Atlantic Divisions.

8U Basketball – For the first time, DC CYO is looking into hosting CYO 8U basketball. There are plenty of details to work out, but here are a few initial objectives:
This would be a targeted January start.
This would be very instructional-focused; officials would have the ability to stop play to get players repositioned or explain different situations. Also, officiating might be done by coaches, partially with coaches or a combo of “official” refs and volunteers - All TBD.
Baskets would ideally be 8 ft where possible.
