Who we are!"The Catholic
Youth Organization (CYO) , through the vehicle of sports, provides youth
with an opportunity to practice Christian attitudes and responsibilities
and to become friends with other children throughout the diocese. CYO
activities should be examples of the meaning of Christian sportsmanship."
The Oakland Diocese Catholic Youth Organization is a church-sponsored athletic program for elementary and junior high age youth from the parishes of the Catholic Diocese of Oakland. CYO Sports are offered by the Church as a ministry to young people. CYO sponsors a variety of sports: girls and boys basketball, girls volleyball, girls and boys track & field, girls and boys cross country, girls softball, boys sand volleyball, cheerleading. In many sports, teams are offered for children in third through eighth grades. CYO Teams are parish or Catholic school teams, centered around the parishes or Catholic schools: CYO teams are not "club" or city teams. For enrollment or eligibility requirements, contact your local Catholic parish athletic director. Check out links from this homepage for information about individual CYO sports, tournaments, CYO philosophy and coaches certification programs. Links to individual CYO leagues with web pages are found on their respective sports pages. Every athletic competitor exercises every kind of self-discipline --- they to win a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one. (I Corinthians 9:15)
