Parish Sports/CYO

All student parishioners are invited to participate in Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) sports:

• Volleyball
• Football
• Basketball
• Track

Athletic Committee
The Athletic Committee is made up of Nativity parents who volunteer to serve a three-year term in one of the following roles: director, sport coordinator, treasurer, and secretary. Meetings are held at 6:00 pm on the first Monday of every month throughout the school year.

The committee’s function is to organize each sport, recruit coaches and other parent volunteers, maintain equipment and uniforms, and interface with the CYO to ensure rules and policies are followed.

The committee supports the CYO mission and provides a fair, fun, and safe environment in which students can play sports.

“The mission of the CYO is to offer all, who are eligible, the opportunity to participate in all the CYO sponsored programs. Participation, in the athletic events, is to be considered primary. “Competition and winning” are by-products of participating and are of lesser importance. Participation, complete honesty and fair play, demonstrated by coaches of unquestionable Christian and Moral Character provide youth with direction to grow in the image of Christ.”

Volunteers
It is impossible to have a successful season for any sport without parent volunteers. The committee is always looking for VIRTUS-trained individuals to help coach or to help facilitate the sporting events. To volunteer, please contact the Athletic Director whose contact information can be found in the weekly church bulletin.

VIRTUS Requirement
All adults who work with, or are in contact with children under the age of 18, in any capacity on the parish level, school level or any activities associated with the parish and/or school, must go through the VIRTUS training and return all associated paper work, including the release form which authorizes the parish VIRTUS coordinator to run a background check.
