The St. Gertrude Basketball program is open to boys and girls in grades 3 - 8 in the 2020-2021 academic year. A player must be an active member of St. Gertrude Parish and either be enrolled at St. Gertrude School, enrolled in St. Gertrude Religious Education or be home schooled.
The 3rd - 5th grades will be treated as instructional / developmental basketball for all athletes. If more than one team per grade, the teams will be balanced based on a skill assessment.
6th - 8th grades will involve open gym evaluations for team assignments and will be placed in the appropriate competitive or recreational league.
Best feasible efforts will be made to build teams consistent with the St. Gertrude Boosters Handbook guidelines and recommendations.
Teams will practice 2 times during the week and GCCYS league games are primarily on Saturdays and Sundays. Teams can expect to play around 12-15 games over the course of the season.
