The online Catholic Coaching Essentials course is designed to familiarize coaches with both the basic approach to being an effective youth sports coach and the Catholic framework from which we carry out this ministry.  

 

The CYO Coaches Orientation is a one-day seminar that provides assistance and training for coaches.  It is designed to inform and develop the Catholic Coach.  It consists of three parts:

 

1)  Philosophy & Mission – Discusses the CYO sports philosophy of coach as athletic minister.   Addresses the Mission Statement and provides tips on how coaches can create their own mission statement, define a “successful season” and communicate them effectively, as well as practical tips to manage a CYO team.

 

2)  Sports Medicine & CYO Christian Values – Discusses growth patterns, injuries and youth

     development in relation to participating in sports.  Addresses the responsibilities and

     blessings of being a Catholic coach.

 

 

 

2009-2010 Coaches Orientation Schedule Cost:  $15.00 per person NO pre-registration required - just walk in!!   Continental Breakfast will be provided.
