Rule Number One - Sports should be fun!

Although sports have changed over the years, our philosophy continues to be that athletics should be guided by the highest standards of good sportsmanship and fair play and that parents/guardian need to be informed of the expectations placed on them.

Sports - are for children
The focus of our Crusader Athletic after school sports and recreation program is not for the parents - it's for their children. Since the number one rule in sports is to have fun for everyone involved, the Catholic Youth Organization, along with the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board have developed several Codes of Conduct for both the parents and the participants. 

These Codes of Conduct ensure we maintain the highest standard of conduct and Catholic spirit of our Crusader Athletic Program sports among student-athletes, parents and spectators. They also outline the expectations we have for both spectators and parents of student-athletes regarding appropriate behaviours and conduct at school sporting events.

C.Y.O.'s Crsuader Athletics - A Tradition of Excellence
Our Crusader Athletic Program has maintained a notable tradition of excellence and has consistently strived to maintain a positive Catholic learning environment for our participants. Codes of Conduct help to encourage positive behaviours in adults and the athletes which can only enhance the overall student-athlete's sporting participation experience.

Finally, the C.Y.O. truly believes that athletics is an extension of the classroom, meaning that behaviours by players, parents and spectators must support this good, positive attitude and atmosphere as we demonstrate our Catholic faith and values within our community.
