Basketball 
Leagues
Due to our children’s success and the fact that our coaches really teach skills, this year, OLA Wildcats play in two leagues. One is the Regular Catholic school league (for want of a better name). The other league is the Competitive Catholic School Elementary League.
There are different eligibility requirements for both leagues.
The regular Catholic school league:
The Our Lady's Academy Basketball Program is comprised of both boys & girls with two teams of combined grades: Team 1 -- 1st and 2nd grade; Team 2 -- 3rd and 4th grade.
Regular League games are held on some Saturdays and Sunday afternoons, beginning in December. The schedule of games is on our website calendar.
5th and 6th Grade, 7th and 8th Grade Competitive League:
Boys in the 5th and 6th grade, girls in the 5th and 6th grade, and boys in the 7th and 8th grade can try out and join the Competitive Catholic Elementary School league.
The schedule of the Boys' Competitive League and Girls' Competitive League games is also posted on our website calendar.
