Coaches Practice Draft
Thank you for a successful evaluation and registration period. There are now 850+ players ready to have a great season of St. Isidore CYO basketball.
On this Thursday, September 18th at 5:45pm all coaches are invited to attend the coaches practice draft and review of basketball with on of the local coaches. This event is limited to only the coaches of St. Isidore's CYO program. This will be host at the newly name "Cardelli" Center, formerly known as the Rettig Center.
Are you an employee of the San Ramon Valley Unified School District?
If so CYO is very much in need or your assistance and time.
SRVUSD has significantly increased the cost of using their gyms for Sunday games this year. The increase is such that we are forced to look at alternative ways for gym usage on Sunday game days so that we do not have to increase are fees to levels that will effect children playing in our program. As an example, to use Stone Valley gym for Sunday games the costs is in excess of $100/hr. We might have to look at other gyms to reduce the cost. This could mean moving games out of our area to Pleasanton or Dublin, this could mean having to increase registration fees significantly, this could mean looking at other gyms that are less desirable. We do not want to do any of those things but may be forced to.
SRVUSD requires that a District employee be on site when the gym is being used. Historically they have assigned maintenance personnel to do this. It does not have to be maintenance personnel, just an employee of the District. If you can volunteer your time on Sunday's as games are being played we do not have to incur maintenance personnel fees ($42/hr.). We would rather have District employees donated their time or even pay them a small amount to watch over the gyms. We can even put you to work working the scoreboard or keeping score at the games which is also a paying position (not much but it is something).
I would like to find some District employees and rotate them during the season to take on this responsibility. It is a good way to give back to the program, help the children and even earn a little spending money.
