Building Community

CYO Athletics
CYO Athletics at St. Anne Parish provides opportunities for our youth to learn valuable life lessons through a team sport athletic environment. This ministry serves hundreds of athletes and requires the leadership of dozens of coaches. We offer cross country, soccer, basketball, baseball, volleyball, and track to all registered parishioners and St. Anne students from kindergarten through 8th grade*.

Our focus is on improvement; respecting and earning the respect of teammates, coaches, officials, spectators, ourselves and opponents; enjoying the results of our effort, hard work and commitment to something bigger than ourselves. We are all inclusive and welcome of all levels of skill and talent. Our CYO coaches have been trained to keep kids safe from sexual abuse (Call to Protect) and successfully coaching youth sports (Play Like a Champion Today). Jennifer Bosserman, 954-0570

*Not all sports are offered to all grades. See handbook for details.
