In the basketball schedule, most of the boys’ games are on Sundays and most
of the girls’ games are on Saturdays.
By default, we schedule Girls on Saturdays and Boys on Sundays with
the following
exceptions:
- If we run out of gym time on Saturday then some games might have to
be moved to Sunday, and vice versa.
- If there is a speech tournament on Saturday, then the 6th-8th grade
games (girls and boys) will be played on Sunday. Because of this, we
certainly will not have enough gym time on Sundays to fit the 4th and
5th grade boys, so we will have to move them to Saturday.
- If there is an entrance exam for one of the Catholic High Schools,
then all 8th grade games will be played on Sunday. Because of this, we
will likely not have enough gym time on Sundays to fit the 4th and 5th
grade boys, so we will have to move them to Saturday.
