​​Selection Process/Requirements for Participation

Students participate in try-outs for all sports and are given a spot on team levels (A, B, C) depending on their level of play.


Athletic Events in the CYO are offered for different levels of competition.

  • ​A (7-8 Grade), B (5-6 Grade) and C (3-4 Grade) levels.  The A level is a competitive division that maintains the core precepts of the lower levels of play.  However, the A level acknowledges conference and CYO champions from a team perspective and recognizes athletes on an individual basis as well.  7/8 graders may not play at the B or C level.
  • The B level is for students in grades 6 and below. The B level is a developmental level. The focus shall be on a basic understanding of the game rules and game strategies as well as further development of fundamental skills. 5/6 may not play at the C level.  
  • The C level is mainly for students in grades 3 and 4.  The C level is an introductory level into sports.

Academic Requirements for Extra Curricular Activities
Students must maintain a 2.0 average and a G in conduct in order to participate in school-sponsored activities. The average is composed of the following academic subjects: Religion, Language Arts (Reading/Literature, English and Spelling), Math, Science,
Social Studies, P.E. and Art.​

​Academic Probation
Students with a grade point average of less than 2.0 at the time progress reports are issued, will be considered on academic probation. The probation period is one trimester. During that time, students may not participate in extracurricular student activities. It is the teachers discretion if students may be removed from probation before the end of a trimester. The students must work closely with the teacher to reinstate their good standing. It is the responsibility of the student to do this.
Parents will be notified of the academic probation and an appointment will be made with the classroom teacher(s) and principal.​
