Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) 

Volleyball Registration Form (due January 22)

St. Joseph & Mary, Queen of Peace Athletics

Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) Sports are available for students enrolled in the school and students registered at St. Joseph, Mary, Queen of Peace or Our Lady of Sorrows parishes. 

CYO fosters the active Catholic spirit for young people participating in athletics, camping, spiritual retreats and other activities.

CYO sports unite children of a parish community in an atmosphere that promotes sportsmanship, skill development and recognizing one’s strengths and limitations. Team sports within CYO offer the lessons of winning and losing; however respect for all participants is of primary importance. CYO sports offers values that aid boys and girls in their development towards adulthood.

CYO is open to all parish and school families!!!  This is a great opportunity to meet other families and to participate in your own parish as well as a Catholic community.

Gifts, Trophies, Awards Recommendation:

St. Joseph/MQP CYO Athletics is a volunteer organization staffed by volunteers, administrated by volunteers, and coached by volunteers. Every measure is taken to keep all of our athletic programs as inexpensive as possible while making them available to everyone in our parish and school, grades K through 8.

To that end, we strive to keep participation costs to a minimum. The initial registration fee is intended to cover the costs associated with jerseys, equipment, league fees, and field/court fees.

The only additional requirements placed upon participants and their families is that participants have their own transportation to and from practices and games, and that participants be ready and able to play for their respective St. Joseph/MQP teams in accordance with the code of conduct as stated above.

ALL OTHER UNIFORM, APPAREL, EQUIPMENT, TROPHY, AND TEAM/COACH GIFT PURCHASES ARE CONSIDERED EXTRANEOUS AND SHALL ONLY BE CONTEMPLATED WHEN UNANIMOUS AGREEMENT, AMONG ALL PARENTS AND PARTICIPANTS INVOLVED, IS REACHED IN ADVANCE OF ANY SUCH PURCHASE.

Additionally, St. Joseph/MQP Athletics restricts the use of St. Joseph School, St. Joseph Parish, Mary, Queen of Peace and CYO logos. Anyone wishing to use these logos, after unanimous approval by all parents and participants involved, must submit a request to the Parish Athletic Coordinator and Principal for an express sanctioning of such use. For details concerning the specifics of such requests, please contact the Parish Athletic Coordinator.

Reporting Problems

Internal Problems: (Within St. Joseph/MQP)
The chain of command is as follows: Problems should first go the coach, then the coordinator then the parish athletic coordinator.

If problems are with coaches, individuals should try and work them out up front with the coach. If this does not work then go to the specific sports coordinator and then the parish athletic coordinator. If it’s a problem with a sports coordinator, then go the parish athletic coordinator.

External Problems: (Outside St. Joseph/MQP)
The coach is first informed who takes it to the coordinator who then informs the parish athletic coordinator. The parish athletic coordinator and specific sport coordinator will take it to CYO. All communications to CYO go through the Parish Athletic Coordinator.
