Sanctioned Events
CYO endeavors to help young people be more Christ-like in the way they live. The young person, not the athletic activity, is the focus of CYO athletics. CYO provides an opportunity for as many eligible young people as possible to experience spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional growth through participation in CYO sports.
Many parishes and schools host CYO sanctioned tournaments, competitions and carnivals each year as a way to raise funds for their programs. Each year, members sponsor over 80 events. If you need help or have any questions regarding sanctioned events contact the CYO Athletic office Staff.
