"Faith Formation and Academic Excellence since 1955"
The Athletic Association is open to all members of the parish interested in promoting CYC sporting activities at the parish level. Commitment level will vary depending on volunteer opportunities available and may include administering each particular sport as the Lay Director, Uniform Director, Fund Raising Coordinator, Field Scheduling and Field Maintenance.
Members must have completed the Prevent and Protect Program as required by the Archdiocese of St. Louis (see Safe Environment page). Monthly meetings (excluding July) are held the second Wednesday of the month with location TBD.
As a people of God ministering to the youth of the Parish through our Athletic Programs we will strive:
To develop a Christian attitude by showing respect for teammates, coaches, parents, and opponents.
To learn all aspects of the sport with substantial participation in practices and games.
To understand that winning should not be determined by the score, but by the efforts put forward by each person giving their best.
The SCL Athletic Association, which is a committee of the SCL Men's Association, manages the athletic program for St. Catherine Laboure parish. The members of the Athletic Association are dedicated to providing track, golf, baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball and basketball for the entire youth of the parish from Kindergarten through 8th grade (pending availability of coaches).
The Men's Association also raises money to fund special projects for the parish by organizing special activities within the group. We welcome men to become a part of the Men's Association to become more active in the parish.
A committee shall exist that administers policy regarding each sport in which SCL participates. The committee shall have an Athletic Director, Lay Director of each sport, Head Official for each sport, Uniform Director, Current Men's Association President, President Elect, Treasurer, Secretary, and a Spiritual Director.
A meeting shall take place monthly to discuss pertinent matters regarding the program. A consistent time and place shall be established. Each member of the committee is required to either attend or communicate a report regarding the status of his/her program. The meeeting is open for attendance by any member of the parish and is stongly recommended to coaches of our teams.
In the event a vote is needed, a simple majority shall be required. Voting members shall consist of the following: Athletic Director, Lay Diector of each sport, Men's Association President, President Elect, Treasuer, and the Spiritual Director. Vote will be taken by roll call. Any policy change will remain in force for at least one year, with the exception of fees. Depending on the sport, subgroups of the committee, usually consisting of the Athletic Director, Lay Director and Spiritual Director, may address matters concerning suspension or personnel issues.
