Catholic Youth Organization (CYO)

Our CYO program is the main focus of St. Lawrence Athletics. Participating in the competitive Archdiocese of Detroit CYO, this program is focused on preparing our student athletes to compete at the highest levels. We will compete to win the contest- within the rules of fair play and good sportsmanship. Some CYO-level activities do limit participation with 'cuts'. However, every effort is made to avoid cuts whenever possible. Currently, St. Lawrence offers the following CYO sports:

Fall Sports (August- October)- registration in April/May of prior school year
- Football (boys in grades 4-8)
- Cheer (girls in grades 4-8)
- Soccer (boys & girls in grades 5-8)
- Volleyball (girls in grades 5-8)

Winter Sports (November- March)- registration in September
- Basketball (boys & girls in grades 5-8)
- Bowling (boys & girls in grades 5-8)
- Cheer (girls in grades 4-8)

Spring Sports (March-early June)- registration in February
- Baseball (boys in grades 5-8)
- Softball (girls in grades 5-8)
- Lacrosse (grades 5-8)

Instructional

This program or 'league' is done in cooperation with other CYO schools and is focused on teaching individual and team fundamentals while adding a splash of competitiveness. There are no 'cuts' and playing time is distributed equally among all players. Teams are coached by parent volunteers and every attempt is made to ensure teams are as even as possible. Coach, parent and player time commitments are minimal.

Currently, the instructional program includes the following:

Winter Sports (December- February)- registration in October
- Basketball (boys & girls in grades 3-4)

Junior Athletics (JA)

Our JA program began in fall, 2001. Offered to our younger children, the focus of the JA program is on teaching the fundamentals of a given sport in a fun atmosphere. The activities of the JA program are both league-oriented and camp/clinic-oriented. The intention is to make these activities 'low-maintenance' for coaches, parents, and players. We currently offer the following:

Fall Sports (August- early October)- registration in May of prior school year
- Soccer (boys & girls ages 5-10)- league-oriented competing in the Warren Youth Soccer League
Spring Sports (April- May)- registration in January
- Soccer (boys & girls ages 5-10)- league-oriented competing in the Warren Youth Soccer League
