Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) is one component of a parish's comprehensive youth ministry program. It enables the partnership of parents, coaches, priests, teachers, and adult learners to manage and support a sports program that allows youth to grow in their relationship with God and understand themselves and the Catholic Faith better.
This is not a school-only program.Participation is open to all boys and girls who attend either Saint Andrew School or the Saint Andrew Religious Education Program and who actively participate in Saint Andrew Parish life.
Fall Program
Our Fall Program consists of Boys Flag Football, Cross-Country, Girls Volleyball, and Soccer. Additionally, we have a partnership for Tackle Football and Cheerleading.
We focus on the fundamentals of this fast-growing sport in a fun environment! Advocating high standards of sportsmanship and fair play, we will build, develop, and refine basic flag football techniques while fostering teamwork.
