How old does a child have to be to play CYO?
CYO is for grades 4-8. CYO sports typically practice twice a week and can have games on any day of the week.
Can my neighbor play SMG sports if they don't attend our parish?
Everyone is welcome to participate in our in house sports. CYO has a rule that participants must be registered at the parish where they play.
When will my child's CYO schedule be posted? Where do I go?
The CYO schedule is posted by CYO and is typically available a week before games begin. You can keep an eye on all things CYO by visiting www.cyoarchindy.org .
What happens if we sign up to play a sport and then decide not to play?
If you decide to withdraw your registration after registration has closed you will forfeit your registration fee.
What do I do if I have a special request when registering my child?
Just click on the "special request" link when registering and add your request. We will do our best to work with you and place your child on appropriate teams.
Do you have service hour opportunities?
Yes! Please contact Pat Biddlecombe or Tina Uhland regarding service hour opportunities.
Is there an online payment option?
No, all payments must be mailed or sent to the parish or school offices. Please place payment in an envelope marked Attn: Pat Biddlecombe or Tina Uhland.
What is the in house sport commitment?
In house typically practices once a week with games on Saturdays or Sundays depending on the sport.
Are there try outs?
For CYO sports we do evaluations. The teams for CYO are leveled so that kids of similar abilities compete against each other.
What can my child play that is younger than 4th grade?
We have junior joggers, in house volleyball, in house basketball , in house soccer, wrestling, cheerleading and flag football.
Does my child need a physical?
In house sports do NOT. CYO sports DO require a yearly physical on file at SMG.
Should we have team parties?
We don't encourage team parties or snacks after games. We have a very strict wellness policy at St. Maria Goretti that we are very proud of. Keeping ALL children safe is our number one priority. We ask that you do not have snacks after practices or games for the safety of our children.
Team banners, signs etc -
As a community we would like our sports ministry focus to be about the athletes and leading them in the direction in which God would like us too. Instead of spending money on signs on the property we would rather our teams focus a portion of their season to do a service project.
