Sports are a unique tool that can serve to connect youth to parish life. The CYO Athletics program  is an Archdiocesan-wide sports league for high school students organized by the Youth & Young Adult Ministry Office. The goal is to foster fellowship between youth from around the Archdiocese through sports and friendly competition, and also to encourage our young people to grow in their leadership skills through Christian sportsmanship. 

The following are the sports leagues currently offered, and are open to all young people in grades 8 through 12 (including the summer after graduation from high school): 

• Fall Co-ed Volleyball
• Winter Co-ed Basketball
• Spring Co-ed Volleyball

• Summer Co-ed Cabbageball

Each sport has its own registration process that is communicated by our office with every parish. The deadline to register a team(s) is usually three to four weeks before each particular sport begins. Our CYO Athletics Coordinator communicates directly with registered participating parishes prior to the beginning of the season regarding game schedules, safe environment/coaching requirements, general league rules, etc. 
Games between parishes take place at various parish gyms and school yards, and are scheduled on weeknights (Monday through Thursday). 

The entry fee for all sports is $170.00 per team, per sport. Our office will invoice each parish for their team costs after registration. Each team is also required to purchase CYO Athletics Insurance through our office at a cost of $5 per athlete. Click here to learn more about the CYO Athletics Insurance program.

Coaches must be in compliance with all Archdiocesan safe environment requirements, and also have an approval letter from their pastor submitted to the Youth & Young Adult Ministry Office.
