St. Martin de Porres CYO Basketball

2022 - 2023 Events

(More details under Events Listing)

 

  • Pre-Season Clinics:  Starting after Labor Day and concluding once formal practices start in mid-Oct, we plan to have evening clinics on Mondays (K-1, 2-3 instructional), Thursdays (G4-6 intramural) and Fridays (B3-4, B5-6 intramurals). B7-9 will have pick-up games on Saturday mornings at Gold's Gym in Sept and Oct to get them back into basketball.  Travel teams will be able to use St. Martin gym on the weekends in Sept and Oct to start practicing and hosting scrimmages.  Once the rectory confirms which days the parish, school or religious ed aren't using the gym, I'll create a 6-week clinic schedule and you can email me if you'd like to participate.  You must be registered to participate in all clinics, so please register early.  Clinics will be limited to 50 kids.  Clinics are free of charge.  At two of the clinics, the Marist men's and Vassar men's teams will also participate as in pre-Covid years.
