Parent Volunteers Needed For CYO Track Meets

From Holy Cross Athletic Board member,
Mike Miranda -

Greater CYO asks that all participating parishes provide volunteers for each track meet. These volunteers are critical to the success of the meets.

Please see the list of remaining meets below, and the volunteer list Holy Cross is being asked to provide.

Volunteer times can easily be split, so you would not have to work the entire meet. The more folks who can sign up to help the better!

If you can help, please contact Tom Sheeley at sheeley932@gmail.com or please sign up at track practice this week.

Get Ready For Track!

from Holy Cross CYO Coordinator, Mike Miranda -

CYO Track begins soon at Holy Cross!
Here’s the information you need to get your child involved…

Step 1: Register Online with the Greater CYO Office Today

If you have already registered your child with CYO this school year (possibly because they played volleyball, football or basketball), you do not need to complete this step again.

The CYO registration is for one school year, and the fee is $25. The Registration and Parent Release form can be completed online at http://www.cyojwa.org. This step must be completed in order to add participants to a team roster.

Step 2: Sign-Up for Track with Holy Cross

Track sign-up will be on Tuesday, March 27 and Wednesday, March 28 at track practice (please see below).

Please make checks payable to ‘Holy Cross CYO.’ Please note your child’s name and grade on the check. If you have any questions on CYO registration or Holy Cross sign-up, please contact Mike Miranda at mamirandam2004@yahoo.com. If you would like to send in your sign-up fee prior to the start of track practice, please drop off at the school office to Mike’s attention.

Track Fees:
3rd – 4th graders $25
5th – 8th graders $50

Step 3: Track Practices

Track Practices will begin on Tuesday, March 27 at 6 p.m., and will be held at Oxford Middle School. Oxford is located at 125th & Switzer. Children are asked to participate in at least one track practice a week, but are encouraged to attend all three nights. There are three practices a week except for where noted below.

ATTN: CYO Parents/Coaches

Parents and coaches of CYO players in the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas will be required to attend a sportsmanship workshop this month.

Please see the workshop schedule to the right to find one that works with your schedule.  ☞

You can read more about the Play Like a Champion Today (PLC) mandatory seminars in an article in The Leaven.

The seminars, required for all CYO parents and coaches, will focus on the similarity between coaching and ministry, the article says. “All coaches of fall sports and all parents with children participating in fall sports are required to attend one of the four sessions.”

The PLC program, inspired by the slogan in the University of Notre Dame locker room, was created in 2006, and has since been introduced to 30 dioceses, including 19 diocesan or citywide leagues.  And the program will be shared coaches and parents of 5,500 CYO athletes from parts of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas this year.

Please share this blog post with other CYO parents you know. Thanks for helping to spread the word!

Time for Track

It is nearly spring, and you know what that means, right?  Well, according to Mike Miranda, our CYO Coordinator, it means it’s time for Track!

Holy Cross Parents, instructions are posted on our HolyCrossCatholicSchool.com website.

Basically, sign up with CYO online. Then, sign up for track with Holy Cross (at track practice – see below). Make checks payable to Holy Cross CYO, noting your child’s name and grade on the check.

Check out the specific details on our website. If you have any questions on CYO registration or Holy Cross signup, please contact Mike Miranda. If you would like to send in your signup fee prior to the start of track practice, please drop off at the school office to Mike’s attention.

Note: Players will receive their track shirt when their fee is paid. If you have already sent in your Holy Cross fee, your track shirt will be given to you at practice.

Track Practices begin on Tuesday, March 22 at 6 p.m., and will be held at Oxford Middle School at 125th & Switzer in Overland Park. Children are asked to participate in at least one track practice a week, but are encouraged to attend all three nights. There are three practices a week except for where noted below.

CYO Fall Sports

pertinent details on CYO volleyball and football
on the Holy Cross school website.

Holy Cross offers volleyball for girls in grades 3
through 8.  Registration begins in mid-July on the
CYO website,  There will be a volleyball clinic for
those interested in brushing up their skills on the
evening of Tuesday, August 17.  Evaluations for
players in grades 5 through 8 will be held
August 18 and 19. Holy Cross fees must be paid
and CYO registration completed for your student
to be evaluated.

If your student would like to play CYO football, there is
contact information for the Holy Spirit and Ascension teams.
