Welcome to CYO Baseball!
CYO Baseball is open to boys in grades 3-8. Games are played in Cleveland
April – May; in Akron July-August. Games are played on parish and community
ball diamonds. The program concludes with the exciting Diocesan
Championships. Only trained coaches who attend the Coaches Development
Program are permitted to coach in CYO Athletics. Every coach will facilitate
a positive environment in which athletes can grow physically, emotionally,
socially and spiritually. For a list of sessions and to register, please
visit the Coaches Development Program
page.
It is CYO’s philosophy that every player participates at all divisions of
play. Each athlete must be treated with Dignity regardless of their ability.
Participation on a team allows players to learn and understand the values of
cooperation, teamwork, sportsmanship, responsibility and respect. CYO
encourages each child to develop at their own pace while working for a
common goal by regulating mandatory participation rules. The participation
requirements are clearly defined in the rule book. It is our Hope that each
athlete can make a significant contribution to their team.
Genesis 1:27 reminds us “in the Divine image God created humanity.” CYO
Athletics encourages every athlete and every coach to accept one another
with compassion, respect, patience, kindness, humility and understanding.
CYO Baseball – it’s a hit and better than apple pie! Play ball!
