That makes sense
Thanks. All I could come up with was "Call Your Own" ... and then couldn't figure out why someone was officiating these?

BTW, my priest is going to get a kick out of this when I tell him.

Yeah, the nearest comparison I can think of in DM would be summer league AAU, or maybe the annual middle school tournament down in Indianola.

Make your pages 40 posts a page like all the cool kids are doing.

LOL, yeah, I'd forgotten about that league.
Clock in the corner, team benches underneath the baskets.

Indianola - Chris Street Tourney
I'm working the Indianola tourney later this month. I was told there are nearly 150 teams and another 35 on the waiting list. 6 sites and 12 kinds of crazy.

CYO Versus Catholic School ...

Here in Connecticut, CYO means Catholic Youth Organization, and these are games played by kids who attend public schools, and they play for their parish church team.

Not to be confused with Catholic school games, which are games played by kids who attend a Catholic school, and play for that Catholic school team.
