Assumption CYO Basketball Registration is open!

2021-2022 CYO: Assumption & Resurrection

After a lot of background work and coordination, we are excited to be able to offer a CYO season this year! We greatly appreciate your patience as we continue to work out the details of how to keep everyone safe. Please read the below information carefully to fully understand how our program will run this year. By registering, you are agreeing to follow protocols set forth by the Diocese and CYO that are set up to keep everyone as safe as possible.

This year our practice and game facilities will be limited to the gym at Assumption. While typically we can make use of the facilities at various Fairport schools, that is not a possibility this year due to Covid restrictions. This limits the number of teams that we can have due to facility availability, but we are looking forward to offering one team at each level we have previously participated in for both boys and girls:

Boys: 3^rd/4^th; 5^th/6^th; 7^th/8^th; JV; Varsity
Girls: 3^rd/4^th; 5^th/6^th; 7^th/8^th; Varsity

Players will be placed on teams with the following priority level in order to best serve as a ministry of the parishes of Assumption & Resurrection:

Returning players who are parishioners of Assumption or Resurrection
New players who are parishioners of Assumption or Resurrection
Returning players who are parishioners of a neighboring Catholic Church
New players who are parishioners of a neighboring Catholic Church
Returning players who are not parishioners of a Catholic Church
New players who are not parishioners of a Catholic Church

The cost per player will be $100 for parishioners and $125 for non-parishioners. As rosters will be take some time to figure out, we will not be asking for the money upfront. Our schedule for registrations, team organization, and payment schedule will be as follows:

Online registration is open until October 26^th at 3pm
The teams will be created based on the priority listing above, and those who are on teams will be notified of their position by Nov 1^st.
When placed on a team, parents will be required to pay the $100 per parishioner participant or $125 per non-parishioner by November 8^th.
If payment is not received, the spot will go to the next person according to the priority list above

*Games and practice schedules will be communicated once teams are organized*

Please review the below Covid protocols that the Diocese of Rochester CYO will be following this season to ensure that you and your player will be able to follow them. By registering, you are agreeing to follow these protocols taken from the “Safe Return to Basketball” document released by the Diocese:

Though positive advances have been made, we continue to live in unprecedented times. We have worked to create a plan according to CDC and health department guidelines that allow us to play and watch basketball in the safest way possible. Recommendations by the CDC remain the best action to take, to stop the spread of COVID-19. In the plan that follows, please be aware that we all assume a role in ensuring a safe and successful basketball season and in mitigating the risk of spreading the disease. Our plan is subject to change based on CDC guidelines and will be updated to reflect current CDC and health department expectations.

CYO's Mission [from the Diocesean CYO website]

CYO Athletics is part of the diocesan Department of Evangelization and Catechesis and part of Youth Ministry outreach. There is an obvious component of evangelization in CYO Athletics; an opportunity to strengthen the connection of baptized Catholics to their Church and an opportunity to be a witness of what a Catholic Christian believes and lives to those who are not Catholic. For these reasons, we enforce the following principles.

CYO Athletics are built on mutual respect
CYO Athletics celebrate the dignity of each individual person
CYO Athletics encourage the unique gifts of each participant
Principles of fair play and sportsmanship govern all games, practices, and scrimmages
Participants, both youth and adult, model Christian values and virtues
CYO Athletics allows the gifted to excel, and the less gifted to participate and improve
Playing is more important than winning
Winning well is more important than winning

CYO Documents can be found in the column at left, below the Parish directory listing
