The St. Elizabeth CYO program is open to 3rd-8th graders who reside within the St. Elizabeth's parish boundaries. The area generally includes the city of Rohnert Park, Cotati, and Penngrove. The Penngrove boundaries are shared with Petaluma's program St. Vincent. Any questions contact Damon Rodriguez.

The Catholic Diocese of Santa Rosa sponsors the CYO (Catholic Youth Organization) basketball program as one dimension of its ministry to youth. The program is open to any child (Catholic or non-Catholic) who resides within a parish's boundaries as established by the Santa Rosa Diocese.

The Catholic Diocese of Santa Rosa sponsors sports activities as one dimension of its ministry to youth.  The teamwork, support, and discipline demanded by a sport are reflective of the characteristics of a true Christian Community.  Sports offers the opportunity to experience a community that supports and respects its members.

The CYO programs seek to provide activities for all youth.  All players are encouraged to participate to the best of their ability, to improve their skills, and to excel in their talents.  The team aspect of sports is emphasized rather than the "star" athletes and teams.

In developing a supportive team, participants are taught to respect and affirm their teammates.  An atmosphere of sportsmanship, helpfulness, and patience is encouraged.  Cheating, ridicule, and unsportsmanlike conduct are not tolerated.

Failure in a game or in conduct are seen as learning opportunities.  Youth are challenged to do their best and to accept critique when appropriate.  Youth, parents, and even coaches who are not "coachable" in their skills or attitudes may be asked not to participate.

Teams are encouraged to try to "win" the game, but not at all costs.  Sportsmanship, equal participation of all players and fair play are the first priority of every practice and game.  Teams who strive to make each player look good, who develop strong team support and who practice the fundamentals of the sport will find they are winners of both the game and of Christian Characters.

Adult volunteers are the key to success of the CYO programs.  They are the models for the youth.  They must consciously attempt to be Christian witnesses, to teach the fundamentals of a sport responsibly, to treat each student fairly, and to uphold the goals of the CYO program.

Practices will officially start on November  1, 2023.  Practice  schedules will be distributed by mid-October by the coaches.

The number of practices per week, the day(s) of the week and the times are dependent on the availability of gyms on a given day and the coach's schedule and preferences.  Every team will be scheduled 2 practices a week (except where circumstances prohibit). There are times where a school will cancel on us (sometimes with short notice) and those teams affected may only get one that week.  We will do our best to reschedule.

The following is the schedule of games:

Games will start 

Week 1 December 2nd & 3rd 

Your team will play 1 game per weekend on either Saturday OR Sunday 
 

The season consists of a 10-week regular season schedule followed by a two-week playoff schedule.  If there are even number of teams in a division, each team will play ten games, five at a home gym and five at an away gym.  If there are odd number of teams in a division, teams will receive one or two byes (no game) depending on the number of teams in the division and the scheduling software program.

The final schedule of games will be distributed in mid-November.

There are no playoffs for 3rd grade teams, however teams may enter the Tomales 3rd grade tournament. March 2 & 3.

 The top four teams in grades 4-8, all divisions, will advance to the playoffs on the weekend of February 24 & 25.  Winners of the first round will play for the championship on March 2 & 3.
