Elementary basketball season is right around the corner! If your student would like to play this year, please sign up using the link below.
Our elementary teams compete in the KISL Private School League. Practices are held right after school on Wednesdays (2:30 PM) and Fridays (3:30 PM), beginning after fall break. Games are played on Saturday mornings, with the season officially starting November 1st. We plan to field as many boys’ and girls’ teams as possible.
We encourage you to join our Sacred Heart teams instead of the local leagues. The benefits are lasting—students gain consistency by playing together all the way through middle school, represent their school and community with pride, and grow as teammates on and off the court.
We’re also looking for volunteer coaches! If you’re interested, please let me know.
