Each meet has four races, grouping participants as: 3rd-5th grade girls, 3rd-5th grade boys, 6th-8th grade girls and 6th-8th grade boys. Runners who are younger than 2nd grade may run in the 1/2 mile races, the ONE mile 3rd-5th grade races or participate in the Fun Run. The registration process consists of a series of program questions that are required for you to complete. Unanswered program questions is considered an incomplete registration.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
A player has to play where they are eligible. Eligibility in CYO is established in one of three ways:
(1) If a child attends the parish school, they can play for their school.
(2) If the child is in religious education at the parish, both this year and last year, they can play for that parish.
(3) If the child and parents live in parish boundaries, they can play for that parish.

FOR FAITH FORMATION AND BOUNDARY PLAYERS, YOU MUST SUBMIT A COPY OF THE PLAYERS BIRTH CERTIFICATE. NOT INCLUDING THIS DOCUMENT IS AN INCOMPLETE REGISTRATION.

FOR BOUNDARY PLAYERS, YOU MUST SUBMIT PROOF OF RESIDENCE SUCH AS A CURRENT UTILITY BILL (NO PHONE BILLS ACCEPTED) AND A MAP SHOWING YOUR RESIDENCE IN OUR BOUNDARIES. NOT INCLUDING THESE 2 DOCUMENTS IS AN INCOMPLETE REGISTRATION.

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 meets consistently and on time. Coaches understand that occasionally a meet 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/meet, to let them know your child will not participate. What is not acceptable is when a child repeatedly misses meets 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. 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.

The due date for registration will be September 4th. If there are any questions, please contact either:
