Grades 5 through 8
Fifth grade basketball is a developmental program
focused on teaching fundamentals of the game, basic
skills, teamwork and sportsmanship. Depending
on turnout, fifth grade teams are divided equally into
peer squads.
Fifth grade practices are once a week, beginning in
late October, and games are played on Saturdays or
Sundays at Visitation School.
In sixth, seventh and eighth grades, basketball teams
are divided into one A-Team and as many B squads as
needed to give everyone an opportunity to play. The
goal is to divide B-Teams equally by talent.
The Athletic Director will seek parent volunteers to
coach B Teams.
Tryouts for upper-grade level basketball are in late
October (after football). Practices are twice a week.
The goal of our athletic program is to provide our
students with learning opportunities that can be found
in few other venues of life. We believe that healthy
athletic competition and high moral standards
complement each other. At Saint Isaac Jogues, positive
teamwork and Christian sportsmanship go hand-in-glove.
Participation in athletic activities is a privilege, not
a right. Student-athletes are expected to abide by the
school’s code of conduct. Moreover, student-athletes
must meet the school’s Academic Standards for Athletic
Participation.
