CYO SPORTS
CYO WINTER SEASON IS CANCELLED
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 Winter sports would disrupt these procedures as well as our Catholic student cohorts inside our school buildings.
This directive from our local Pastors and Principals remains the same as we move closer to our proposed start date of January 4th, 2021. With so much uncertainty surrounding the Winter season and holiday break, our school and parish facilities remain unavailable for CYO’s safe return in a majority of the CYO Regions.
The CYO Office will continue to monitor for any opportunities in which all of our young athletes can safely return. Until that opportunity is present for all CYO parishes and programs across the Archdiocese, no CYO activities will be 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
