SJS Basketball Registration is Open (Grades 4-8)

We are starting to plan for the 2026-2027 basketball season, which runs early November through mid-March.  Basketball is open to boys & girls in 4th – 8th grade.  Saint James School typically has at least 9 basketball teams each year, so your prompt return of the required paperwork is appreciated.  Open Gym practices for registered players will start shortly.

For younger students/new families, here is some additional information about the Saint James School Basketball program.  Please note, day/times are subject to change based on volunteer coach availability, but these represent days/times from the past few years so we hope to stick with this schedule:

Boys

* Our 4th & 5th grade boys typically participate in a developmental program.  Practice dates and games are typically Saturday mornings.  There may also be one practice during the week (Fridays) after school or in the evenings.  We typically have 2 – 3 teams so we will need extra coaches at this level if you are able to help.

* Depending on sign-up counts, we anticipate 6th grade boys will be JV, 7th & 8th will participate at the Varsity level.  JV boys typically practice 2 nights during the week (Tuesday/Thursday at 4:30pm) with games typically on Saturdays.  Varsity typically practices Tuesday/Thursday evenings after JV (6:00pm). Varsity games are also in the evenings during the week with possible tournament play on select weekends.

Girls

* Depending on sign-up counts, we anticipate 4th – 6th grade girls will be JV, 7th & 8th girls will participate at the Varsity level.  Scheduling of games and practice commitments are the same as the boys JV/Varsity.  Girls typically practice on Monday and Wednesday evenings at those same times.
