Assumption CYO Basketball Update

Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Diocese has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020/2021 CYO Basketball season. While we know this is disappointing, the safety of our players, families and communities are at the heart of this decision and we thank you in advance for your understanding as we navigate these uncertain times.  Stay well and we look forward to a time when we can safely bring our players and families back together again.

Thank you.

CYO's Mission [from the Diocesean CYO website]

CYO Athletics is part of the diocesan Department of Evangelization and Catechesis and part of Youth Ministry outreach. There is an obvious component of evangelization in CYO Athletics; an opportunity to strengthen the connection of baptized Catholics to their Church and an opportunity to be a witness of what a Catholic Christian believes and lives to those who are not Catholic. For these reasons, we enforce the following principles.

• CYO Athletics are built on mutual respect
• CYO Athletics celebrate the dignity of each individual person
• CYO Athletics encourage the unique gifts of each participant
• Principles of fair play and sportsmanship govern all games, practices, and scrimmages
• Participants, both youth and adult, model Christian values and virtues
• CYO Athletics allows the gifted to excel, and the less gifted to participate and improve
• Playing is more important than winning
• Winning well is more important than winning
