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.
