Welcome to Junior Cats Girls 6th-8th Graders

Junior Cats is a basketball program for boys and girls living in Southeast Fort Collins, Coloardo. It is the goal of the program to have players playing together as young as possible for as many years as possible. The girls program is for current 4th-8th grade players. Junior programs are not affiliated or sponsored by any area High School or school district.

Separate teams are formed for boys & girls. Teams play in a Fall League (Oct-Nov) and may play in tournament(s) in Nov or Dec. Teams also play in a Winter League (Jan-Feb).

Team Practices

It is our goal to have practice begin the week of September 13th or 20th. Practices will be scheduled once or twice a week in the evening. Practice days and times are determined by the coach's schedule and gym availability. Typically, we try to schedule 4th-6th graders from 6-7:30 pm and 7th-8th graders from 7:30-9 pm. Practice locations depend on gym availability from Poudre School District.

Fees for Junior Season

Fees include: league fees for both fall and winter seasons, gyms for practice once or twice a week during both seasons, coach compensation, equipment, insurance to rent gyms and administrative fee. Uniforms are priced separately as many wear their uniforms from season to season (or pass along between siblings and neighbors). Final fees will be available at tryouts.

To help in your planning it is our goal to keep junior program investments as low as possible. In 2009 we were able to reduce fees from 2008 and our goal in 2010 is to keep fees the same as 2009 or again reduce them. Fees for 6th-8th grade girls ranged from $330-$345, depending on what leagues the team played in.

The fee for uniforms was $50 for 2-piece uniform ($35 for a jersey and $15 for the shorts).

Game Schedule

Girls teams typically play in the Northern Colorado Girls Basketball League with two games on Sundays. Games start October 24th. This league has been in Fort Collins for many years (previously managed by Jeff Coleman and WinSports).

Teams will also play in their Turkey Shoot Tournament November 28-29.

For the winter season (January-February), teams play either Power to Play Sports in Northern Colorado or a league in Cheyenne Wyoming. The coach will decide based on the skill level of the team. Both leagues play on Sundays.

Payment Options

Junior fees can be paid in full at the first practice or it may be divided into three payments. RMYS accepts checks but not credit cards.

Fundraising Opportunities

RMYS is able to offer three fundraising opportunities to help families pay their Junior team investment. See the Fundraiser Info webpage for details that apply to all teams.
