Expectations in Educational Athletics
The administration and staff of our parish/school, all CYO parishes/schools and the CYO Athletic Department wish to make it clear that CYO sports are an educational activity. Athletes, parents and friends must be aware of our school's expectations with regard to sportsmanship. Unlike professional sports, as a spectator at an athletic event, you are part of the activity, much like the athletes, coaches, and officials. As a participant (spectator or team member) we expect that you will maintain good sportsmanship or refrain from attending CYO athelic events. It is expected that as participants and spectators, we will support in a positive way our own team remembering that the athletes, coaches and officials are not perfect and will make mistakes. Negative, derogatory cheers or actions aimed at either team are not acceptable in educational athletics. It is expected that you will accept the decisions of the officials without vocalizing disagreement. Officials are an important part of this educational activity. We are sending the wrong message when we challenge or abuse the game official sent to the game to administer these educational activities. At all times it is expected that we will respect one another; adults and students alike. This especially includes our opponents and officials, without whose involvment, sport contests would not occur. -

JV & Varsity Philosophy
JV (4th-6th)
- A developmental league to expose players to the sports.
- Play time should be relatively equal subject to commitment shown by a player.
Varsity (7th-8th)- Expect to compete at a higher level than JV.
- Play time is not expected to be equal, although all players should see some time.
- This may be throughout the course of a season. There is no guarantee of play time in every game.
- Commitment and attitude shown by each player is a factor in play
-
Athletic association
St. Patrick parish is proud to offer our parish-sponsored Athletic Program, the St. Patrick Athletic Association (SPAA).
SPAA is part of the Archdiocese of Detroit Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) Athletics and is a parish-based program that is dedicated to the development of youth as a student athlete encouraging them to express Catholic values, sportsmanship and fair play that leads to a positive athletic experience.
The Catholic Youth Organization offers team sport opportunities from 5th-8th grade youth.
The St. Patrick Athletic Association works very hard to provide a positive experience for the youth of our parish. It is vital to the success of the program that all parents and students review the SPAA Handbook, which includes the Code of Conduct. Rules, behavior and expected conduct are outlined in the handbook. Should you have any questions, please contact Joseph and Priscilla Stephan, Co-Athletic Directors at [email protected]
Thank you for your cooperation!
