Basketball:
The gym will be available for basketball for the following uses:
Coaches or parents can lead skills development sessions or games for grades of players. These sessions should be available to any parish child in the grade.
Team practices or skill sessions are not allowed for basketball as teams have not been selected yet for the upcoming season.
Shooting sessions for small groups (5 or fewer players):
St. Vincent recently purchased a shooting machine to enhance shooting sessions. Use of the shooting machine will be available to coaches or parents who have completed the training review on proper use of the machine.
