Athletics

Faith Based Athletics

Organized sports provide our children with opportunities to grow and develop physically, mentally, and emotionally. It is our goal that this growth and development occur in an atmosphere which promotes and demonstrates our Catholic/Christian values. Accordingly, it is our goal that all activities of our sports program are conducted in a manner consistent with the values of good sportsmanship and fair play.

Eligibility
All St. Joseph School students and registered parishioners are eligible to participate. If not in enrolled at a Catholic School, players must be enrolled in a CCD program at their parish.

See the CYO Manual and/or the St. Joseph Athletics Handbook for more details.

Organization and Funding
The Claw Booster Club is a Parish organization. The Parish has established a Sports Committee to run this program. The St. Joseph Sports Committee is responsible for all aspects of the program including sign-ups, coach appointment, facilities maintenance, uniform and equipment purchases, and fundraising.

The Sports Program operates financially independent from the Parish. The Program is financially supported solely through fundraising, concession sales, player fees, and donations.

   CYO Manual
   This manual was written by the Archdiocese of Detroit (AOD) and is used by the Monroe CYO Director for guidance on rules and regulations. The Monroe CYO rules may vary from the rules established by the AOD.
   
   St. Joseph Athletic Handbook
   The St. Joseph Sports Committee has developed a handbook to establish guidelines that expand on the Archdiocese of Detroit’s CYO Manual. This handbook exists to provide guidelines to the committee, coaches, players, and parents so that consistency exists from year to year. The Committee is always looking for suggestions as to how to improve the sports programs and this handbook. Please feel free to provide comments or suggestions to Paul Murphy.
