Athletic Boosters
August, 2010
Dear St. John Athletic Booster Parents:
It is once again time to begin registration for the 2010 – 2011 Youth CYO Basketball and CYO Volleyball programs. You should read the Program Descriptions enclosed with this letter to ensure you are registering for the proper program.
1. Girls who are currently playing CYO Basketball will have to register again for the Volleyball Program. Please follow the instructions on the registration form.
2. If you are interested in coaching as a Head Coach or Assistant Coach for any parish team involving children the Archdiocese of Cincinnati requires each coach to attend a Child Protection Workshop along with being fingerprinted.
3. As a condition of registration, you may be asked to volunteer one afternoon of time to help support these programs. Volunteers will be needed to work the door collecting admission fees to CYO games, run the score board, keep the scorebook, etc. You will be contacted about these responsibilities as they arise.
4. The deadline for registration in these programs varies by sport. If the registration deadline is not met, a $20 late fee must be added and your child will only be permitted to participate if there is an opening in the program. This deadline is necessary so that we can register for leagues and acquire equipment and adequate gym time based upon the size of our programs.
Boys' Basketball (Grades 3-12) - Deadline is 8/31/10
Recreational Basketball (Co-Ed Grades K-2) - Deadline is 9/30/10
Girls' Volleyball (Grades 3-8) - Deadline is 9/30/10

Examples of Invalid Requests

-- Dissatisfaction with the coach/team placement/practice/game day or time
Special Note to Junior High Parents: If your child is planning to try out for a Junior High School Basketball team, you should still complete a registration form at this time so that a spot will be available in our program. If your child makes a Junior High School Basketball team he is not eligible to play in our program, you will receive a full refund. IF your daughter played on a Junior High Volleyball team please notify the coach. The Thunderbird Basketball teams are not considered to be a school-sponsored program.

About the St. John Athletic Boosters
The Boosters support a youth program which includes intramural basketball and C.Y.O. sports teams. Our C.Y.O. basketball programs for boys and girls have been very successful, and our C.Y.O. girls volleyball teams generally are among the best in the city. Our spring C.Y.O. boys volleyball program is relatively new, but it is already showing signs of success. Previous adult programs included men's softball, couples volleyball, and men's "over 30" basketball. Other programs and activities can be sponsored if there is sufficient interest.
