Please note four of twelve 5-6 Boys teams will play Monday nights at St. Paul’s. We will use these Monday night times so as to avoid CYO conflicts when possible.

Even though our deadline was October 31st, GCAA Basketball is still accepting intramural applications for the 2009-2010 Season subject to space availability and payment of a late fee. Please sign up now before certain divisions get closed out. We expect to conduct drafts and form teams in early November.

Please note we are running a 7-8 boys intramural league with teams, coaches, standings, playoffs and referees. All games will be played at St. Paul’s 11:00-12:00. Since players and parents were not aware of the times allocated to this division, we will waive the late fee for this division only until Nov 15th.

The intramural application can be downloaded from the GCAA website, www.gc-aa.com. The intramural game season starts Sat December 5th and runs thru the middle of March.

GCAA Basketball has improved its programs significantly over the last 4 years as we look forward to continued success. GCAA Basketball sets itself apart in the following ways.

GCAA had 52 intramural teams last year in the 2008-2009 season. This season we expect even more. Each team has one head coach and at least one asst.

GCAA has intramural standings, playoffs and incorporates player clinics into the learning process. The standings and rosters are posted on the GCAA website.

GCAA had 17 travel teams in the 2008-2009 season. The try out process for the 2009-2010 season is now over. GCAA has formed 17 travel teams for the 2009-2010 season. The try out results are posted on our GCAA website, www-gc-aa.com

GCAA runs a Challenger Program for the physically and mentally challenged with over 100 participants.

GCAA runs actual games for 2nd grade boys, 2-3 Girls and 7-8 Boys.

GCAA does have morning times at the St. Paul’s facility in the 2009-2010 season.

GCAA given participation levels, can form viable leagues with fewer grades rather than divisions with wide disparity of ages and less teams.

GCAA has drafts for all intramural teams 3rd grade and up in an effort to make sure teams are balanced and fair.

GCAA has a board of basketball directors and has already lined up coordinators for all divisions.
