Sports/Coaching
Programs Youngsters can choose from the following activities: Soccer, Volleyball,
Basketball, Track, Cross-Country and Cheerleading. Athletics are seen as
one way of implementing the mission of the CYO. The objective of CYO
athletics is to be well organized, uniform in philosophy, properly
supervised and provide opportunities for the youth of Northwest Indiana to
develop physical fitness, self-discipline, mental alertness, and an attitude
of good sportsmanship based upon Catholic principals of fair play and
cooperation. Nearly 800 men and women volunteer
their time as CYO coaches each year. To better prepare these adults,
Coaches' Certification Programs are held to stress the social,
psychological, and spiritual impact on the coach and players. On the technical side,
various clinics are sponsored each year to refresh coaches on the updated
rules and policies. |
