“Opportunities Far Beyond the Playing Field”
Through a variety of sports programs, the CYO has created a platform for children to challenge themselves both physically and mentally, fostering qualities of resilience, discipline, and teamwork. These programs not only cultivate a sense of healthy competition but also instill values that extend beyond the realm of sports, promoting the development of well-rounded individuals.
“Shaping a Legacy of Resilience and Inclusion”
The athletic and recreation programs offered by the C.Y.O. promote inclusivity in sports, create a sense of belonging, boost self-esteem, and foster a supportive community where diversity is celebrated.
“Building My Leadership Skills”
I was able to go through the process of tryouts, learned about team commitment, and what it was like to be a part of a team. This is a special and fun opportunity for kids to put themselves out there, discover talents, and make friendships through the course of grade school.
“A Sense of Belonging”
My journey with the C.Y.O. began when I was six years old, in first grade. I participated in fall sports including cross country, attended educational trips with my classmates, and went to summer camp every year.
“Lessons Learned, Memories Made”
The Catholic Youth Organization had a major impact on my life since the age of seven. From the moment I ran my first cross country in 2011 with the Crusaders Athletic Program to this past fall where I worked the event, I carry forward with me all the lessons learned, and memories made.
