The game of Biddy Basketball was developed to teach both boys and girls the skills and fundamentals of basketball. The Saint Andrew Biddy Basketball league has a long history of providing youth with an engaging program of fun competition!
The 2023 season for children PreK – Third Grade begins on January 15 and continues through February 26, with the weekend of Super School Sunday, January 29 as an off-week.
All games are held from 11:30 – 4:00 PM on Sunday afternoons in the Saint Andrew gym on the corner of Addison and Paulina.
You can contact the Biddy Basketball organizers by email at biddybasketball@gosaintandrew.com.
The current increase in COVID-19 cases has been especially pronounced around indoor athletics, as many participants either socialize before/after events or only loosely follow mask requirements. This dynamic, coupled with the higher-risk nature of indoor, close contact athletic competitions, has led the Archdiocese of Chicago COVID-19 Task Force to implement the following quarantine policy:
- If a member of a team tests positive for COVID-19, then everyone on the team is considered a close contact.
- Each unvaccinated close contact must quarantine for 10 days (or 7 days with a negative test on/after day 6).
- Vaccinated team members who do not experience any symptoms do not have to quarantine.
For the 2022 season, we are only offering Biddy Basketball to children Kindergarten through third grade. We hope to be able to offer PreK and JuniorK again in future years.
In addition, each family may have a maximum of 2 parents/guardians as spectators. No other family members, friends, or relatives will be allowed to enter the gym. Masks are currently required for everyone while in the Gym.
