Sports Mission Statement CYO Sports is one component of
a parish's comprehensive youth ministry program which enables the partnership
of parents, coaches, priests, religious, teachers, and adult leaders to manage
and support a sports program that allows youth to grow in their relationship with
God and come to better understand themselves and the Catholic faith. Such
a program: - Employs healthy and enjoyable competition
to promote the sharing of gospel values among athletes, parents, and coaches
- Assists
parish leadership in nourishing the emotional, spiritual, social and physical
needs of young people
- Encourages young people to appreciate
the gifts that they possess, and challenges them to share these gifts with their
community
- Allows youth to witness the life of Christian
discipleship in their coaches and adult leaders
- Encourages
youth to become responsible members of their faith community
