What is
the St John's CYO program?
CYO
sports is a non-denominational component of St
John Nepomucene’s comprehensive youth program which enables
the
partnership of parents, coaches, priest and adult leaders to manage and
support a sports program that allows our youth to grow physically and
emotionally within the community. St. John's CYO youth sports programs
have been serving the community
for over 20 years. Although we want the children to develop their
skills in whatever program they choose, the most important aspect of
our program is for all participants to have FUN!
This
program:
- Employs healthy and enjoyable competition to promote
the
sharing of good social values among athletes, parents, coaches and
spectators.
- Assists community leadership in developing the
emotional, social and physical needs of young people.
- Encourages young people to appreciate the
gifts that
they possess, and challenges them to share these gifts with their
community.
- Encourages youth to become responsible members of the
community.
- A number of programs are offered:
- Intramural
Basketball Program starting with the 3rd Grade (Boys and
Girls)
- Travel
Basketball Program for both Boys and Girls

Intramural Basketball
No,
we are not registering any 2nd grade players. They can not play against
another player two grades up. It would not be fair to either player.
What if
my son or daughter has religion, can they still play?
Yes,
they can come late or miss that night's practice or game. We have
limited gym time and we are unable to alternate gym time.
Can we
put our child with their friends?
In
the 3/4 grade level we try to keep individual elementary schools
together. If you have a certain request please let us know at
registration table. At the 5/6 grade level individuals are picked by
coaches after the evaluation night. Brothers and sisters are kept
together.
Is the
traveling far for Travel program?
The
traveling is in Suffolk and Nassau county only. The hours of the game
are usually after 6pm when traffic is lighter.
When
will we get the schedule for the travel program?
You
will get the schedule as soon as we receive them. CYO Nassau and
Suffolk decides the schedule and hands it out to coordinators, who then
distributes them to the coaches.
