Holy Name Parish Athletics

Under the direction of the Athletic Director, student athletes of Holy Name Parish & School have the opportunity to participate in the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) sports programs.

CYO sports are open to any athlete who is either enrolled in Holy Name Catholic School and/or who resides in a household that is a registered and participating parishioner of Holy Name Catholic Church.  

This group organizes, manages and provides support for all CYO sponsored sporting events at Holy Name.  They create many of our sports schedules, manage player/coach participation requirements and source locations and referees for our competitions.

The CYO program guides our children in their development of Christian values such as fair play, good sportsmanship, team work, honesty, respect, tolerance, gratitude and humility.  And it reinforces policies established at CYO as well as within those of Holy Name.
