PARENTAL PARTICIPATION IN CYO

In order for this program to be successful, we need participation of parents. The coaches and team parents who volunteer countless hours each year are not the only ones responsible for the success of the program. Each family who signs up their child to play CYO sports must make a commitment to the program. This commitment includes volunteering time whenever it is needed as well as getting your child to practices and games consistently and on time. Coaches understand that occasionally a game or practice will be missed due to illnesses or unexpected events. Please contact the coach as early as possible, but no later than two (2) hours before practice/game, to let them know your child will not participate. What is not acceptable is when a child repeatedly misses games or practices without a good reason such as injury, illness or special family occasion. Other weekly activities such as other sports, etc. do not count as excused absences. This is detrimental to both the player and their team. The coaches will be instructed to keep track of repeated unexcused absences and be allowed to reduce the player’s playing time in games if necessary. Our program has many children on the waiting list each year, and we want to make sure that the child’s playing are totally committed to this program. The coaches will explain their individual policies to you at the first parent meeting after the teams are organized.

PRACTICES AND GAME SCHEDULES

Participation in CYO sports requires flexibility. Practices are scheduled according to [1] gym availability (which is not always consistent) and [2] coach’s availability. We do try to get a consistent practice schedule, but request and appreciate your patience and flexibility. Games will be on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays and may be held in Fremont, Hayward or Union City.

The due date for registration will be August 31st. If there are any questions, please contact either:
