HOOPS: Basketball Program

The Hoops Basketball program seeks to provide a sporting environment which reflects the Christian values of our faith. In this league, winning is important, but it is not everything; all children, regardless of ability, "make" the team and play in each game. We strive to coach each player in a manner that nurtures his/her self-image and sense of worth. In this supportive and loving atmosphere, even youngsters with little natural ability make remarkable progress in their skills and self-confidence. An awards banquet is held at the end of the season at which every child and receives a trophy.

The boys' program is divided into 2 groups (Junior: age 8 through 10 and Intermediate: Age 11 – Grade 9) *.
The girls group includes all girls age 8** through Grade 9.

*September 1^st is the age cutoff date; (example – if the boy turns 10 on 9/2 he is in the Jr Boys Program)

** If the child is younger than 8, they can play if they are able to reach the net with the ball

We welcome members of other Orthodox parishes and friends of our parishioners. We will do our best to place siblings on the same team, but cannot accommodate all requests for friends and other relatives. We strive to promote children making new and lasting friendships with other members of the St. Vasilios Family.

Thank You
