CATHOLIC YOUTH ORGANIZATION SPORTS

St. Joseph CYO Sports

St. Joseph Athletics is a member of the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO), an all-volunteer organization run by the Oakland Diocese.  Sports are open to interested athletes who are St. Joseph School students, enrolled in the St. Joseph Faith Formation, or live within Parish boundaries.  Depending on the sport and on the interest, there is typically 16-18 teams with 9-11 players per team.  

Parents are welcome to help as coaches, score keepers and administrators.  Coaches must be fingerprinted by the Diocese, complete an on-line Safe Environment coarse and attend a coaches workshop put on by the Diocese at the start of each season. 

St. Joseph CYO teams participate in the Oakland Diocese Catholic Youth Organization (CYO), which is an all-volunteer organization.  The Diocese arranges for parishes to compete in regional leagues.  At the end of every season, the leagues each send two representatives to a Diocese-wide playoffs for that sport. 

The sports offered are open to athletes who are eligible either as St. Joseph School students, enrollees in the St. Joseph Faith Formation, or residents who live within St. Joseph Parish boundaries.  Depending on the sport, the level of interest, and the number of coaches available, there typically are one or more teams per sport per grade. 

Coaches are certified annually by the Diocese, after they have completed on-line Safe Environment Training course, been fingerprinted for the Diocese, and attended an annual coaches' workshop at the start of each season. Coaches are all volunteers. Parents are welcome to volunteer as coaches, as score keepers or to assist with parish or league administrative duties.

Please contact the Athletic Director or the Coordinator of the sport for which you are interested in volunteering.
