Volunteers don't get paid, not because they're
worthless, but because they're priceless.

Athletic Ministry / CYO Sports 2010-2011 Coaches Training Information & Schedule
 Athletic Ministry Conference Over
the past fourteen years, the Athletic Ministry Conference has served to aid parishes in developing healthy
athletic programs that support the goals of the CYO Sports Mission Statement.
This year the Athletic Ministry department
will host the 15th Annual Athletic Ministry Conference. This year's Conference will build upon prior years', providing
both information and an opportunity for discussion. Our goal is for you to leave with practical applications for producing
an athletic program with a truly Catholic message.
The Conference offers motivating Catholic youth sports related
material that will be supplemented with practical applications that you can bring back to your parish. We strongly encourage
you to send more than just one person.
Attention Pastors & Parish Athletic Directors:
*Your
parish is responsible for having one representative at only one of this year's Conferences. Parish sports programs
who do not comply, will jeopardize their participation in the Archdiocesan CYO Tournaments.
The Athletic
Ministry Conference takes place annually and is typically scheduled for the 1st and 3rd Saturdays in October.
