2023-2024 Basketball Player Evaluations

Player Evaluation Guidelines

St. Bonaventure CYO prospective players will undergo a fair and equitable evaluation to ensure that each player is placed in the proper division. Evaluations are not tryouts, but a means to determine which division/team a player will excel and be happy in. We do not want more advanced players competing against newer players to ensure a safe, healthy, yet competitive basketball season.  Once more, these evaluations are simply to place players on teams where they will learn and be comfortable in.

Team SelectionThe team selection process is facilitated by the St Bonaventure Basketball Committee  and Coaches at each grade level will determine team rosters. Decisions may not be changed by players or parents, they are final. 3rd grade may not have evaluations as teams are divided evenly. Not all other grades may have evaluations if the current team is the same or similar from last season. Their designation of American, American 2 or National will be based on last season records.

  • The evaluation process places all players in the level of play that best suits the athlete's skills and abilities (American, American 2, or National) depending on registration numbers and following team make-up guidelines
