  1. What are the fees for each sport?
    • Fees are determined by cost of field rental and gym-time rentals and are somewhat subsidized by fundraising and donations. See the registration page for current rates.
  2. Can I coach?
    • Anyone can express interest in coaching and volunteering with any board members or at stbernadettecyo@gmail.com and also on your child’s registration. All coaches and volunteers spending any time with our children, must go through VIRTUS training and complete a fingerprinting/background check with the Archdiocese before starting.
  3. When do evaluations start and who gets evaluated?
    • Evaluations are dependent on what level your child is playing on. Evaluations generally occur within a few weeks of the close of registration. Levels and Evaluations
      • Intramurals (K & TYKE thru 2nd Grades) have no evaluations. This level of play is not involved with the Archdiocese – goal is exposure and basic skill building.
      • Rookies (3rd & 4th Grades) undergo evaluations with coaches to ensure a balance of skills across all teams.
      • Junior Varsity (5th & 6th Grades) undergo evaluations for A & B Team placement. Evaluations are mandatory for A Team placement. Evaluations are designed to be as objective as possible.
      • Varsity (7th & 8th Grades) undergo evaluations for A & B Team placement. Evaluations are mandatory for A Team placement. Evaluations are designed to be as objective as possible.
      • High School (9th – 12th Grades) Basketball only. Affords H.S. players an opportunity to play at an intramural level against other local teams. Generally, no evaluations necessary.
  4. How are Evaluations Performed?
    • The Rookie (3rd & 4th Grade) program performs evaluations by the coaches to create teams with balance in skill level. There is no A & B team division at this level. Attendance is not mandatory but strongly recommended. Coaches are matched with their child’s team.
    • The J.V. (5th & 6th Grade) and Varsity (7th & 8th Grade) levels require Mandatory Evaluations for placement on A, B, and sometimes C level teams. Within these divisions, there is sometimes Tournament vs. Non-Tournament Teams as well. Evaluations are designed to be objective with little to no coach input except for bubble decisions. Every attempt is made to match coaches with their children. A Team placement will not take place without participation in evaluations.
    • For more information about the Archdiocesan model for the evaluation process go to: WASHCYO Athletic Handbook
  5. Can my child play if they have had a recent injury or illness?
    • If a child has had a broken bone, sprain or other related injury or illness that could inhibit their ability and/or safety during sports play it is up to the parents of the player to make the situation known to commissioner and/or coaches and receive medical clearance before playing and practicing with the team.
