CYO Sports is one component of a parish’s comprehensive youth ministry program which enables the partnership of parents, coaches, priests, religious, teachers, and adult leaders to manage and support a sports program that allows youth to grow in their relationship with God and come to better understand themselves and the Catholic Faith.
The CYO Athletic Program has existed in the Archdiocese since 1945. Prior to 1962, sports at OLGC was on a limited schedule and part of Region 10. In 1965, a stronger division, Region 11, was formed and OLGC was a part of this new region. OLGC CYO sponsors a variety of sports including: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, soccer, softball, track, and volleyball. Swimming is available as part of the athletic program at OLGC but is not recognized as a CYO sport by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
