Volleyball

Volleyball season is well underway and will be wrapping up in a couple weeks.  We will host only two more regular season games this year at Canton Middle School on the following dates:

Friday, October 17^th

Monday, October 27^th

All games begin at 7 p.m.  Please come and support our teams!  Complete practice and game schedules, including scores, can be found on St. John’s website ( www.stjohntheevangelist.net ).

As a reminder, our 7^th grade volleyball team will be participating in the Big West Conference play-offs on Saturday, November 8^th at the Schaumburg Community Center.  The play-off will be pool play style.  Our 7^th grade team will be assigned a pool and play 3 games.  The best team from that pool advances to the next round of the play-off. Good luck to our 7^th grade girls.  Go Tigers!

Basketball

We are fielding four basketball teams this year.  A 5^th grade girls’ team, a 6^th grade girls’ team, a 7^th grade boys’ team (made up of 5^th, 6^th, and 7^th grade boys), and an 8^th grade boys’ team.  Practice will begin November 10^th at Canton Middle School.  Full practice and game schedules will be posted on the website once the schedules have been finalized.  The game schedule should be finalized by early November.  We will host games at Canton Middle School.  The basketball season will last through March and will be completed before spring break.

Coaches

A member of the sports committee will be contacting coaches for the basketball teams this week.  A basketball coaches’ meeting will take place on Monday, October 20^th at Canton Middle School.  We will meet in the hallway in front of the gym.  At this meeting we will discuss rules, practice schedules and times, uniforms, registration fees, and answer any of your outstanding questions.  The meeting will be held at 7pm. 

Coaches are required to have VIRTUS training through the diocese.  If you do not have training, please log into http://www.virtusonline.com/virtus/ for more information.  If you have already taken VIRTUS training, please contact the school office so they can update their records.  NOTE: We cannot allow anyone to coach that does not have VIRTUS training.
