The Cedar Rapids Bulldogs was formed to develop potential for the game of basketball, teach fundamentals of the competitive game and instill sportsmanship, teamwork, loyalty, and pride. It is available to girls in 3rd-8th grades who plan on attending Xavier High School. The organization’s intent is to serve as a developmental program for Xavier High School but is not under the direction of their administration or staff.

Being a Bulldog member is not a requirement to participate in Xavier Basketball.
