Intramurals (K-3rd grade):

This program is a clinic conducted mostly on Saturday mornings in January/February with skills and drills in the beginning weeks and games in the following weeks.  There are two age groups (K-1st and 2nd-3rd). Fundamentals such as passing, dribbling, shooting, etc. are taught.  Children are instructed each week by adults and members of the Corpus Varsity team and High School volunteers. (This age group will fill up, sign up today so you don’t miss out!)

7th-8th graders and High Schoolers are needed as Student Coaches, please sign up when you register for Varsity or High School Basketball.

4th Grade Boys & Girls:

Teams are divided evenly via an evaluation process (not a tryout).  Each team is selected as an ‘equal’ team.

 Practices: 1x a week

Games: Usually Friday-Sunday against other region 20, 4th grade teams

 JV & Varsity Boys and Girls:

This level consists of competitive and instructional teams.  The Junior Varsity Girls teams and JV Boys teams (5th & 6th grade) and Varsity Girls teams and Varsity Boys teams (7th & 8th grade) divisions.  The teams will be picked based on a tryout and/or an evaluation in early November.

 High School Boys and Girls:

This level consists of teams per gender: 9th-10th grade and 11th-12th grade.  This division is an opportunity for parishioners to continue to play basketball while in high school. If registration numbers support fielding more than two teams, Corpus will do so by grade.
