HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL MESSAGE!!
NEW for 2026: The CYO Boys High School basketball season is scheduled to run from August 14th through October 3rd in an effort to avoid conflicts with CHSAA & PSAL High School basketball seasons. Due to this change, we are faced with a challenge for gym time as the Sacred Heart Gym is unavailable in August due to maintenance work. Athletic directors will work with coaches to find suitable places for practice.
Registration for High School basketball is currently available. There will not be in person registration for High School Basketball. Registration is ONLINE ONLY.
