Open Basketball Registration

Registration for the 2024-2025 St. Bede’s CYO Basketball season is now open!

3rd Grade Basketball

St. Bede’s has petitioned Region 19 to expand the 4th grade basketball program to mimic the Novice Soccer program (i.e., change the 4th grade league into a 3rd/4th grade league). This matter will not be voted on until the Region 19 meeting in September. We have setup our registration assuming the motion will be voted on in our favor (i.e., the 3rd graders will join teams with 4th graders and play travel basketball games).

If the matter is defeated, we will offer 1 of 2 options for 3rd graders who register to play:

  • Full refund of your registration
  • A partial refund of your registration and a transfer to our Skills and Drills program
