COACH AS YOUTH MINISTER
When sports are rooted in the mission and values of your parish, the Coach becomes a youth ministry leader who is ministering to young people on behalf of the faith community. Once a coach accepts the responsibility to coach in the Catholic Youth Organization, they accept the responsibility to maintain a standard for excellence. Every coach must attend the CYO Coaches Certification Program and be Virtus trained.
COACHES:
- Set a good example for participants and fans to follow, exemplifying the highest moral and ethical value
- Respect the judgment of officials; abide by rules of the event
- Treat opposing coaches, participants and fans with respect
- Instruct participants in sportsmanship and demand they display good sportsmanship
- Coach in a positive manner, reflecting Christian values
CYO holds annual coaches workshops and clinics focusing on the coach being a Youth Minister: YOUTH MINISTER THROUGH ATHLETICS. When sports are rooted in the mission and values of your parish, the coach becomes a youth ministry leader who is ministering to young people on behalf of the faith community. Once a coach accepts the responsibility to coach in the Catholic Youth organization, they accept the responsibility to maintain a standard for excellence.
COACHES MUST WEAR THEIR CYO CERTIFICATION IDENTIFICATION CARD DURING CYO CONTESTS.

COACH’S PRAYER
Dear Lord, guide me as
I try to coach this team;
to build each player’s character
and boost their self-esteem.
May I keep an even temper
and remember it’s just a game.
Let me not have favorite players,
but treat them all the same.
Grant me patience with them
as I praise them or correct,
remembering that I must work
to earn each one’s respect.
Lord, whether we may win or lose
may all who are watching see
the kind of coach at every game
that you would have me be.
Amen |
