CYM Basketball

 

Thank you for your interest in the St. James CYM Basketball program. 

In our discussion with Diocesan leaders, the decision has been made that there should be no type of clinics or intramurals occurring in our school gymnasiums or parish facilities at this time.  We believe this is for everyone’s wellbeing.  Thank you for your continued support of our program.
