CYO Athletics

CYO Information

St. Patrick School and Parish proudly support youth athletics as members of the Youngstown Diocese. To give our students more opportunities to grow and compete, our teams participate as guests in the Diocese of Cleveland CYO league and charter.

CYO offers a wide variety of sports throughout the year. We welcome energetic volunteer coaches who want to help shape and inspire our young athletes.

Explore our sport information: basketball, cheerleading, cross country, football, track and field, and volleyball. Contact the Athletic Director to confirm available teams, grade levels, fees, and registration dates for the current season.

Find published game information through CYO schedules and locations, and learn how our Sports Boosters support school athletics.

How to Register

  1. Review your child’s sport information and contact the Athletic Director to confirm team availability, eligibility, fees, and how to register for the current season.
  2. Use the current CYO Pre-Participation Form and instructions. Ask the Athletic Director which additional school forms are required; school resources are listed under Registration & Participation Forms.
  3. Submit all required forms, physicals, and fees before your athlete begins participation. A fresh set of school forms is needed each school year. Follow the current CYO form’s signature and validity requirements and confirm that your paperwork is accepted with the Athletic Director.

Review the school’s Concussion Information Sheet (PDF) and confirm any additional required acknowledgments before participation.

Who Can Play?

Any student enrolled at St. Patrick School, a registered member of St. Patrick Parish, and any public school child in Portage County is eligible to participate in CYO sports. Students must be up to date on tuition payments to maintain eligibility.

Contact the Athletic Director to confirm eligibility and team placement for your child’s sport and grade before registering.

Important Reminders

To follow CYO rules, all forms and fees must be submitted to the parish designee or athletic director before any practices, games, tournaments, or competitions begin.
 
  • Athletes will not be able to participate until all paperwork is complete.

  • Any past-due fees from previous sports seasons must be paid in full before registration is accepted.

Together, we can give our children the opportunity to grow in faith, teamwork, and sportsmanship through CYO athletics!
