Christ The King ("CTK") 5th - 8th Grade Basketball Program: #1 GOAL IS FUN
The 5th through 8th Grade Recreational Basketball Program runs from early November until late January and includes a 9 week game schedule. The 5th through 8th grade teams will participate in a post season CMLA Tournament. Games usually last an hour and are either in the CTK gym or away at other parishes. The program is focused on teaching the kids how to play basketball, modeling good sportsmanship, teamwork and for us all to grow our family fellowship in the church community.

PARENT PARTICIPATION: All OLA Athletic Ministry programs are run by active parent volunteers. We have a Program Director who helps administer the program but the actual coaching is all done by parents. Parent participation is encouraged and you will enjoy the program more as you become active with the children. All volunteer parents must have completed the VIRTUS Program screening and training before becoming involved with the program.
