News

Regular Registration for the St. Cyril & Methodius CYO Intramural Basketball Program has officially ended in December. All teams have been formed, practices are underway, and the full game schedule has been finalized as we begin another exciting season of CYO basketball.

For families who are still interested in participating, late registration is still possible, but availability is very limited. While the online registration link remains open, placement cannot be guaranteed and will be based strictly on roster needs and available space. Requests for specific teams or coaches cannot be accommodated, as late placements are made on an as-needed basis to maintain balance across teams.

We are currently sold out in the following age groups:

COED Boys & Girls in Grades 1 & 2

Boys in Grades 3 & 4

Boys in Grades 5 & 6

Girls in Grades 3 & 4

Please note that there are no discounts for late registration. Once you complete the online registration, you must contact Mike Gonzalez directly to confirm availability, arrange payment, and address any questions or concerns.

Thank you 

Mike Gonzalez
