CYO’s philosophy states 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.
Track and Field athletes use their skills and discipline to help them finish
that race or place in a field event!
