CYO SCHOOL SPORTS PROGRAM
An optional school sports program, under the supervision of the principal and the direction of an adult coach, may be conducted outside the schedule of the regular school day. It does not replace the required physical education time allotment in the school’s curriculum. The Holy Angels School athletic program is primarily designed as an instructional league. Emphasis on winning is a secondary component of the program. The purpose of the school sports program is to:
• To teach the spirit of fair play and good sportsmanship;
• To assist students in developing athletic skills and physical coordination;
• To teach the importance of team spirit and following the rules of the sport;
The Athletic Department of Holy Angels School participates in the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. It aims to develop outstanding sportsmanship in all participating students. The team sports offered in the after-school sports program are football, volleyball, basketball, and soccer.
To participate in any sports program, a student must maintain a minimum 2.0 grade point average, no F’s and at least an “S” in behavior and work habits during the sports season. An “NI '' in behavior and/or a suspension will result in not being able to participate in any sports. Grades from the 3rd trimester report card will be used to qualify for fall sports, until the fall progress report is provided. Finally, students must be present at school on the date of a team’s game day to participate in the event (this includes team practice).
AFTER SCHOOL GAMES
Students who remain to watch after school games need to be with their parents or an identified guardian. Failure to follow this procedure will result in a student being placed in daycare. Students are required to abide by the uniform policy while attending after school sports games. The purpose of attending the game is to support and observe the team. Students may not leave the school grounds and then return without supervision.
Parents and students must display good sportsmanship at all times. Coaches and school staff have the right to ask anyone to leave the game or premises for any reason.
