GENERAL INFORMATION

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.  Registration material is available at your area 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 mailed to the head coaches of the football and basketball programs.  Cheer coaches may obtain a copy of the corresponding season schedule by contacting the CYO Athletic and Camping Office.   

CYO sponsors two Varsity Cheer Championships.  The fall season competition is held in November and the winter competition in March.   If you would like more information on CYO Cheer, please contact our Diocesan Cheer Commissioner, Marcy Kane at (216) 334-1261, ext. 46.  This is her office voice mail extension.  Leave her a message and she will return your call promptly.
