CYO Athletics offers a grade school
leading program for those girls in grades 4 - 8. (See
Player Eligibility Rules for guidelines). Squads are formed
from Catholic parishes, schools, or educational institutions in the
Central, Eastern, and Western areas of the Diocese of Cleveland.
The CYO Cheer program is held
in the fall and winter sport seasons. Each
season, squads are required to register with the CYO office. Squads can cheer for their football teams in
the fall and basketball teams in the winter.
Games are played at various fields and gyms
throughout the CYO service area. Sport schedules are prepared by the
office and can be viewed online at www.clevelandcyoschedules.org. CYO sponsors two Varsity
Cheer
Championships. The fall season championship is held in November and
the winter championship in March.
If you would like more
information on CYO Cheer, please contact our Diocesan
Cheer Commissioner, Marcy Kane at

This is her office voice mail extension. Leave her a message
