BASKETBALL REGISTRATIONOctober 25th
Girls and boys Basketball registration is now CLOSED.
Thank you to all who signed up to play and special thanks to those who have been able to volunteer as coaches, assistant coaches, and parent team volunteers.
If you missed the deadline, and would like more information - or you are available to volunteer some time, please complete the form below and someone will be in touch.
We did register CYO Grade 5 Team for the girls - but did not have enough players or volunteers to cover the other grade levels. We are discussing the possibility of some Intramural Gym Time for the girls.
**At this time we are not able to use the school gyms so we are not able to have a full
7th & 8th grade CYO basketball program.
We are looking into possibly an intramural team for the 7th and 8th graders.
If you are willing to help coach intramurals or volunteer in some other way, please let us know.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE! -
Catholic Youth Organization (CYO)
VISION: Sports is a component of comprehensive youth ministry which enables the partnership of parents, coaches, 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.
PERSPECTIVE: Sports have become a major force of influence in our society. This significant capacity to influence has led to a greater need for examination of the power of sports as either a life-giving or life-draining force in the lives of athletes, their coaches, their parents and the entire institution that sponsors the programs.
Sports have the capacity to greatly enrich the body, mind, and soul of the athlete, as well as enhance the life and spirit of the community. We view sports as a healthy and holistic activity, and as a wonderful vehicle of spreading faith through gospel values.

Prayer of the Sportsman
Dear Lord, in the battle that goes on through life,
I ask but a field that is fair,
A chance that is equal with all in the strife,
The courage to strive and to dare.
If I should win, let it be by the code,
With my faith and my honor held high.
If I should lose, let me stand by the road
And cheer as the winners go by.
Athlete’s Prayer
Dear God, Let me play well but fairly,
Help me to learn something that matters once the game is over.
Let competition make me strong but never hostile.
Always let me help my opponent up.
Never catch me rejoicing in the adversity of others.
If I know victory, allow me to be happy; if I am denied, keep me from envy.
Remind me that sports are just games.
If through athletics I set an example, let it be a good one.

ALL VOLUNTEERS
Thank you so much for volunteering your time here at St Joseph's.
To ensure the safety of our children, all Volunteers are required to attend a VIRTUS workshop and and undergo a background check. VIRTUS is a 2-3 hour training session to raise our awareness to the safety measures which need to be in place when working with Children.
Once you attend, please submit a copy of your VIRTUS Certificate to the Parish Office.
General information about the VIRTUS workshop is below.
The VIRTUS workshop will be offered at St Joseph's on Tuesday, 10/19 at 10am and again at 7pm.
Pre-registration is necessary.
Please follow the link to create a VIRTUS account and register for the session which fits your schedule.
As you look at the sessions which are available - if you find one at a different parish which is easier to attend, you may register there -- simply let them know that you are volunteering at St Joseph's, Babylon.
Your "Organization" is Rockville Centre NY (Safe Environment Diocese)
If you have any questions, please let me know.
