HOLY HOOPS

Get Involved

The St. Matthew's Holy Hoops basketball tournament began in 2011. It was the brainchild of Fr. Rod who had grown up witnessing a similar event as a youth. A committee of dedicated parents put on a very successful inaugural tournament and the event has grown to be a staple at St. Matthew's over the past decade.

Each year, 5th-8th grade students compete in a week long basketball tournament held after school in mid-March. The teams, broken into a boys division and a girls division, typically contain students from each grade and are coached by high school students who are St. Matthew's alumni. The tournament strives to promote competition, faith, sportsmanship, camaraderie, and fellowship.
