Prayer ~ Walking
It’s listening in silence
to the leaves
whispering in a breeze.
It’s hearing the first sounds
of the birds in Spring.
It’s listening to our thoughts
about things we’ve forgotten
to do for ourselves and others,
while talking with Him. By Donna Bauman

2014-2015 High School Boys & Girls Basketball Sign-Up
St. Mary will have on-line sign-up for CYO HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL for boys & girls who are
parishioners of St. Mary of the Assumption in grades 9 -12
Junior Varsity is for 9th and 10th grade only - Varsity is 9th through 12th grade
High school basketball teams are parish based. ONLY parishioners of St. Mary of the Assumption are eligible to sign-up to play. Players from a different parish MUST sign up to play for their parish! If, and
only if, a player’s parish does not sponsor a team is that player eligible to play for the next clos-est parish to his/her home address. If St. Mary's is the next closest parish, then the player must get approval from their parish's Athletic Director to leave that parish to play for St. Mary's. Once that is
approved an Eligibility Request Form (ERF) must be obtained (CYO website) and filled out completely then turned into St. Mary's Athletic Director for final signature. CYO has final say as to whether or not that
player is eligible to play for St. Mary's.
Sign-up is from Sunday, October 12th through Sunday, November 30th
The fee to play will be $100
Below is the link to sign-up your child or children https://www.sportspilot.com/Register/Family/Default.asp?ASOID=106204
If your child is NOT signed up by November 30th they will be placed
on a waiting list and are not guaranteed a roster spot.
Sign-up fees are non-refundable
Any questions or coaching inquires, please contact
Gary Kohl, Athletic Director @ (440)343-2647
or email [email protected] or
Jamie Buzzanca, Basketball Coordinator @ (440)413-9530
or email [email protected]
