Attend the Coaches Orientation seminar in person during the first year prior to the start of the sport (see schedule below).

The online Catholic Coaching Essentials course is designed to familiarize coaches with both the basic approach to being an effective youth sports coach and the Catholic framework from which we carry out this ministry.

The CYO Coaches Orientation is a half-day seminar that provides assistance and training for coaches. It is designed to inform and develop the Catholic Coach. It consists of three parts:

1) Philosophy & Mission – Discusses the CYO sports philosophy of coach as athletic minister. Addresses the Mission Statement and provides tips on how coaches can create their own mission statement, define a “successful season” and communicate them effectively, as well as practical tips to manage a CYO team.

2) Sports Medicine & CYO Christian Values – Discusses growth patterns, injuries and youth development in relation to participating in sports. Addresses the responsibilities and blessings of being a Catholic coach.

3) Coaching from the Heart – Discusses the importance of being a baptismal coach in light of the current present realities of the American sports culture. Also gives references and suggestions that give us the freedom to “coach from the heart” both spiritually and practically.

Please communicate these requirements and the schedule below to all CYO coaches.
