BOYS’ AND GIRLS’ BASKETBALL:
Season Length and Game Sites. The CYO season is scheduled to begin December 5 with practices starting on November 2. The season usually runs until late February-early March. Games will be played on both Saturdays and Sundays.

Division of Talent. At the 4th-6th grade level, talented children are divided equally among each team (“even split teams”). At the 7th-8th grade level, teams are divided into an “A/B” structure where the more developed players (“A”) are grouped together on the same team.
Playing Time: At Gesu, our coaches, will adhere to the mandatory playing time rules laid out by CYO.
Assessments and Practices. Practices to assess talent so we can divide teams equally or into A and B teams will be held in early November. Regular practices start the following week. Grade 8 will have 3 practices per week. Grades 4-7 will have 2 practices per week.

Boys and Girls participating on any other basketball team (e.g. Cleveland Heights Rec., AAU) during the CYO basketball season are not eligible to play for the Gesu CYO team.

Girls participating in JO volleyball are not eligible to play for a Gesu team. The Athletic Director may grant an exception to this rule on an individual basis.

We field 30+ teams per year. As a result, many teams will have off-site practice (not at Gesu) or split practices with another Gesu team. We also run tournaments and as a result some teams will lose practice times or have practice shortened.

GESU CYO BASKETBALL COACHES' CLINIC AND HOMEWORK BASKETBALL SESSIONS

Mark your calendars for Sunday, November 8th as the Gesu Boosters and Athletic Program will host the Gesu Boys' Varsity Basketball Coaching Staff for a Coaches' Clinic and Homework Basketball Sessions at the Gesu Parish Family Center. Admission is FREE and all Gesu basketball coaches and boys and girls basketball players (grades 4-8) are invited to attend. The Coaches' Clinic will take place from 1:00-2:30 PM and will offer tips and insight on teaching age appropriate skills and techniques. The Homework Basketball Sessions will run from 2:45-6:30 PM and will teach our basketball players individual drills that stress sound fundamentals. More information can be found on the flyer posted on the Gesu Athletic Website.
