Interested in playing Basketball? 

The CHYSC Intramural Basketball Program promotes a fun and structured environment for players to get introduced to the fundamentals of basketball. With the multitude of schools that serve Northwest Philadelphia and the surrounding communities, it is a wonderful way for children to meet and get to know new friends and neighbors.

The CHYSC Intramural Basketball Season runs from January 4th to March 2nd 2024.

Our sports club is committed to creating a safe and positive environment for all our young athletes during sporting events. It has come to our attention that instances of inappropriate adult behavior have occurred, which is unacceptable and goes against the core values of our organization. Therefore, we have developed a strict policy to address and prevent any further incidents of this nature.

Inappropriate adult behavior includes, but is not limited to:

• Verbal abuse or harassment directed at players, coaches, officials, or other spectators.
• Physical altercations or aggressive behavior that can cause harm or discomfort to others.
• Use of offensive language, gestures, or any form of discriminatory behavior.
• Disrespectful conduct towards the opposing team, officials, or any other individual involved in the event.
• To uphold the integrity and safety of our sporting events, we have implemented the following guidelines:

Zero-Tolerance Policy: Any form of inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

• Immediate Removal: Any adult found engaging in inappropriate behavior will be asked to leave the premises and may face further consequences, including potential suspension from future events.
• Reporting Mechanism: We encourage individuals to report any incidents of inappropriate behavior to the designated event officials or club management immediately.
• Education and Awareness: We will conduct regular educational sessions and raise awareness about respectful conduct and the importance of positive sportsmanship among all participants and spectators.

We firmly believe that fostering a culture of respect, sportsmanship, and positivity is paramount in the development of our young athletes. We expect all adults associated with our club to uphold these values and serve as positive role models for our youth.

Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for all participants.

Our 2nd Annual Flag Football Fundraiser for Philabundance gained great momentum and was a huge success!

With 5 teams and numerous people cheering from the sideline, we had a fun filled, exciting day. Thank you to those who participated, donated, or just came out to support us. Together over $2,000 was raised for Philabundance. 

Please plan on participating again in 2024 as we come together for a great cause and to burn off some of our Thanksgiving Day calories.
