7:00 - 8:30 pm Holy Child Forum

(Entrance on May Place)

You must be a registered Holy Child parishioner as of Sep-tember 2014 and have satisfied your registration payments with School of Religion in order to register and try-out for a CYO Basketball Team.

All new registrations must bring a copy of their child’s birth certificate along with a copy of a utility bill to veri-fy home address. We will not accept any registrations forms without the above requested.

Rules for CYO Placement at Holy Child

Your child must be a Holy Child parishioner who has been registered with our Parish and School of Religion as of Sep-tember 2014, unless you are a new parishioner and your child is entering 1st grade and will be attending school of religion for the first time, you are a parishioner of St. John Neumann, or live within the boundaries of Holy Child that have been set by the CYO Director.

If your child attends School of Religion at a different Parish other than St. John Neumann, or attends Catholic School they must register at the school they attend to play CYO Bas-ketball. If your child will be trying out for a team at their Par-ish and does not get picked for a team, CYO will find a bor-dering Parish team for your child.

Players must attend two tryouts to be considered to play for a Holy Child Team. Try-outs will be conducted in the second week of September. Dates and times will be announced at a later date.

All School of Religion tuition must be up to date or paid in full prior to registering for basketball or any other sports pro-gram Holy Child offers.

All payments for the CYO basketball league will be due after tryouts when team selections are completed. There will be a separate fee for uniforms.
