Program Description
Resurrection CYO Basketball
3rd - 4th Grade Intramurals
Winter Season
3rd Grade – Intramurals
Resurrection CYO will offer an intramural Instructional League for our 3rd Grade boys and girls from late October through mid-February. The program is open to the community, without regard to CYO eligibility rules. The goal of our program is to offer exposure to fundamental basketball skills in a fun setting, building these skills through repetitive practice. Volunteer parent-coaches work with each child on learning the basics and care is taken to build confidence and self-esteem. The focus of the season will be on fundamentals, gradually leading into games with an instructional component. The games will be refereed with modified rules in order to maintain the benefit of instruction.
3rd Grade teams typically practice for one hour once a week early in the evening on weekdays. Games are played against other Resurrection 3rd Grade teams on Saturdays. The practice and game schedule will be available two weeks before the season start.
For 3rd grade intramurals, coaches will ensure all players receive equal as possible playing time.
We plan to hold a 3rd Grade Intramurals Clinic/Assessment before the start of the season. Date TBD. Present at the clinic will be our volunteer coaching staff, who will guide the players and get a sense of each player's unique talents. Coaches will then assemble balanced team rosters based on the clinic. Practices will begin in late October.
2021-2022 3rd Grade Captain: TBD
4th Grade – Intramurals
Resurrection CYO will offer an intramural League for our 4th Grade boys and girls from late October through mid-February. The program is open to the community, without regard to CYO eligibility rules. Every other practice session will be guided by Coach Marty Durkin, a well-regarded and respected youth basketball coach. Volunteer parent coaches will assist in practices and coach the weekend games.
As the season progresses, there will be basic offensive tenets established that will be unified across Resurrection teams. The goal of our 4th grade program is to offer deeper repetitive exposure to fundamental basketball skills and provide a competitive intramural game setting on the weekends. Coaches will work with each child on learning the basics and care will be taken by coaches to build confidence and self-esteem.
4th grade teams will remain generally the same from 3rd Grade. Keeping rosters consistent from 3rd grade builds teamwork, camaraderie, and teaches loyalty and how to work through problems. With that said, we will have new players each year and will do our best to make the 4th grade teams competitively equal. Our 4th grade program is about development and sportsmanship. Success should not be based solely on winning or losing, but should be understood in terms of participation, enjoyment and self-confidence.
4th Grade teams typically practice for one hour once a week early in the evening on weekdays. Games are played against other Resurrection 4th Grade teams on Saturdays. The practice and game schedule will be available two weeks before the season start.
For 4th grade intramurals, coaches will ensure all players receive equal as possible playing time.
Because we missed the 2020-2021 Season, we plan to hold a 4th Grade Intramurals Clinic/Assessment before the start of the season. Date TBD. Present at the clinic will be our volunteer coaching staff, who will guide the players and get a sense of each player's unique talents. Coaches will then assemble balanced team rosters based on the clinic. Practices will begin in late October.
