Expectations in Educational Athletics

The administration and staff of our parish/school, all CYO parishes/schools and the CYO Athletic Department wish to make it clear that CYO sports are an educational activity. Athletes, parents and friends must be aware of our school's expectations with regard to sportsmanship.

Unlike professional sports, as a spectator at an athletic event, you are a part of the activity, much like the athletes, coaches and officials. As a participant, (spectator or team member) we expect that you will maintain good sportsmanship or refrain from attending CYO athletic events.

It is expected that as participants and spectators, we will support in a positive way our own team remembering that the athletes, coaches and officials are not perfect and will make mistakes. Negative, derogatory cheers or actions aimed at either team are not acceptable in educational athletics.
It is expected that you will accept the decisions of the officials without vocalizing disagreement. Officials are an important part of this educational activity. We are sending the wrong message when we challenge or abuse the game official sent to the game to administer these educational activities.
At all times it is expected that we will respect one another; adults and students alike. This especially includes our opponents and officials, without whose involvement, sport contests would not occur.

I am the parent or legal guardian of the student listed on this form and have read the Expectations in Educational Athletics above and recognize the risk in participation and injury. Please enter your name below.
