CYO SPORTS
CYO SPORTS WILL REMAIN SUSPENDED INTO THE WINTER SEASON
The CYO Office is working diligently with the Office of Catholic Education and the leaders of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to provide a safe and effective avenue for youth sports to return. At this time, our Catholic School students and their safety remain a top priority. With many gymnasiums being used for classrooms, Mass overflow, and various other COVID-19 procedures, CYO would disrupt these procedures as well as our Catholic student cohorts inside our school buildings.
The CYO activities will remain suspended through the November 1 start date for Winter Sports, and the current proposed return date is January 4, 2021. This date, as with all decisions regarding this pandemic, remains fluid. We encourage our Athletic Directors and Volunteer Boards to facilitate their registrations and formulate a plan for return with their Principal/Pastor. If there is an opportunity to return prior to 1/4/21, the CYO Office and Regional Commissioners will provide any assistance necessary to aid the local levels in a safe and swift return to play for our kids.
Since we are anticipating an abbreviated basketball season taking place, no in-house activities will be permitted at this time. The indoor facilities of the schools are a main component of our current suspension. Therefore, no CYO activities will resume for Winter sports until permitted.

ABOUT US
St. Thomas of Villanova CYO sports are open to all Catholic children who are members of St. Thomas of Villanova Parish and are registered in the Parish PREP program or enrolled in a parish/private Catholic school. Parish children in grades 7 through high school must have had their sacraments (Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation) and participate in the Parish Youth Ministry program.
If a Parish child in grades 7 & up has not received all their sacraments, the child must be actively enrolled in Religious Education to become fully initiated in the Catholic Church & attending to all their requirements. Please call Tara Penza if you have questions about religious education or Maria Luby for questions about Youth Ministry at 610.525.4801. For teams not offered by STV, parishioners may play through other Parishes. COACHES INFORMATION
Athlete’s Prayer God, Let me play well but fairly, Help me to learn something that matters once the game is over. Let competition make me strong but never hostile. Always let me help my opponent up. Never catch me rejoicing in the adversity of others. If I know victory, allow me to be happy; if I am denied, keep me from envy. Remind me that sports are just games. If through athletics I set an example, let it be a good one. Amen
