St.Gregory/ IMMAC CYO Intramural Basketball Program
The Intramural basketball program is a skills based, teaching program for beginners and those who are looking to learn the fundamentals of basketball while having fun
The program is organized by St.Gregory and also IMMAC CYO and their coordinator Kathy Hurley
The intramural program has continued to grow each year and working with IMMAC CYO we strive to keep improving the intramural program
We are also very fortunate to recieve the help of North Rockland High School basketball coaches Jamie Ryan and Mike Castaldo as well as the players and other experienced coaches
The program begins the last Saturday in December and ends in mid-March
The first three weeks will be practices. On week 1, every player is issued a basketball
The goal of the practice is to teach the fundementals of basketball and the proper techniques and skills
On the second practice, each player meets their coach and teammates for the season
Week 3 during the final practice, every player is issued their new game jersey and they practice in teams to prepare for the games in Janurary
After the practices conclude in Janurary, games will begin. Players only bring their game jerseys and don´t need to bring balls once games begin
Schedules/ Rules and Locations for the games and practices will be emailed out and also posted here on the website
Please note: All practices and games are only held on Saturday mornings
Games are tons of fun where each team plays against each other, each player brings the ball up, plays both offense and defense, and the score is kept on the scoreboard
Clock is stopped throughout the game to teach skills about offense, defense, etc.
Our goal is for every player to score by the end of the season as well as improve their skills and get better while having fun!
Grades 1/2 and Grades 3/4 are a division and play together however during games only those of equal skills will play at the same time to ensure fairness
More information and pictures can be found under Intramural Teams/ Schedules tab and under pictures tab on the horizontal page menu
Coaches are needed for the season. Coaching is lots of fun and requires no prior basketball knowledge. For more information on how to coach Intramurals please email Tom at sgbcyo@gmail.com
