Basketball

St. Bede School offers a Basketball program for students in grades 3 – 8:

Jump Start

St. Bede’s Jump Start (3rd and 4th grade) teams play in the Jump Start League.  Score is not kept in games in the Jump Start league during the regular season.  Playing time is as equal as possible.  At the end of season there is a Jump Start Tournament where keeping score as well as tracking wins and losses begins.

Junior Varsity (JV)

5th and 6th-grade boys and girls

Varsity

7th and 8th-grade boys and girls

The Basketball season runs from mid-October through February.  Teams typically practice twice a week and have between 1-2 games per week.

Our Junior Varsity Boys and Girls (5th and 6th grade) and Varsity Boys and Girls (7th and 8th grade) teams participate in the Pittsburgh Diocesan Basketball League.  Depending on class sizes and the number of participants, JV and Varsity players will also play games in the Developmental League (D-League).  The D-League is designed to provide JV and Varsity players an opportunity to improve and compete by simply getting more playing time.
