St. Monica Athletics is putting together a plan to have a St. Monica basketball league since we are not playing with CYO this year because of Covid-19.  Please fill out the form below if a player is interested in playing.
 
1)  Masks will be worn at all times by all participants, coaches and spectators
2)  There will likely be 2 practicers per week and we hope to play some games either one evening or on Saturday Mornings
3)  Game rules will be modified to limit running up and down the court and are somewhat summarized but are subject to change.  Team one will have offense on one side of the court with team twos defense and team ones defense will be on the other side of the court with team twos offense.  When a defense rebounds the ball, they simply pass it down the court to their offense team.  At some point the offense and defense will switch so all participants play both sides of the ball.
4)  Teams will likely be mixed with 4th through 8th graders on each team but will be matched up to play against similar talent.
