Catch b-ball fever! St. Christopher students in grades 3 to 6 have the opportunity to play CYO basketball in the winter months through our school and parish teams, and a good number of both experienced and novice players get involved each year. The 3rd/4th grade team is coed, while both the boys and the girls have a team at the 5th/6th grade level...and all teams have a great time! Many of the students continue on to play at the junior high level for Nashua Catholic. In addition, students take part in Nashua Catholic's annual "Battle at the Barn" which showcases Catholic school teams in an informal, fun event at the end of the basketball season.
