Returning Basketball Players

Returning-player status applies to eligible athletes who participated in the 2025–2026 St. Luke CYO Winter Basketball season.

• Returning players who register by the applicable deadline may remain on their previous basketball team, subject to team formation requirements.

• Returning-player status applies to basketball only. Participation in soccer, volleyball, or another CYO sport does not establish returning status for basketball.

• Families may choose to enter their returning player into the team lottery instead.

• Returning-player status does not guarantee that the same team or coach will return.

• Players registering after the official deadline lose returning-player status and must enter the lottery.

New Players & Team Lottery

St. Luke CYO follows the Archdiocese's team formation and lottery procedures to promote fairness and transparency.

• New basketball players are assigned through the lottery process when multiple teams or available roster positions require placement.

• Available positions on returning teams are filled through the lottery.

• Returning players who elect not to remain with their previous team enter the lottery.

• If registration numbers require an additional team within a division, an open lottery may be necessary for all players.

• Requests for specific coaches, teammates, or teams will not be accepted.

Final team assignments depend on registration numbers, age divisions, roster requirements, and CYO policies.

Volunteer Coaches Needed

Our programs depend on dedicated adult volunteers. Anyone interested in coaching should email saintlukecyo@gmail.com.

All coaches and volunteers must complete the required Archdiocese certification, background-check, and safeguarding requirements before participating with a team.

 

Refund Policy

• 100% refund if your child is not placed on a team
• Full refund, less a $10 administrative fee, if withdrawn before uniforms are ordered
• 50% refund if withdrawn after rosters are shared but before the season schedule is published
• No refunds after the season schedule is published

Submitting a registration acknowledges acceptance of this policy.

Important Registration Acknowledgment

By completing registration, parents and guardians acknowledge that they have reviewed the eligibility requirements and understand the returning-player and lottery procedures.

Registration does not guarantee placement with a particular coach, teammate, or team.

We look forward to another great season of St. Luke CYO Basketball!
