Catholic Youth Organization (CYO)

St. Michael is happy to partner with the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) to provide parish and school youth an opportunity to participate in recreational sports.  CYO is part of the youth ministry programs for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. In CYO sports, Christian values such as respect, honesty, fair play, sportsmanship, and humility are modeled in words and actions.


The responsibility for the success of CYO sports rests with the administrator, coaches, parents, and other volunteers at each parish. This program relies on adult volunteers to coach teams and assist at games and practices. Adults who volunteer need to complete Safe Parish training prior to involvement in CYO activities. The adults play an important role in fostering the Christian growth of the young people participating in CYO sports. 


The fee to play a sport at St. Michael is $80 per player ($50 for track). If this fee is a hardship for your family, financial assistance is available.
