The commission for each sport will be responsible for:
- The rules and decisions on rule changes in keeping with the overall policy of CYO Athletics.
- Assisting in scheduling league and tournament games.
- On site inspections to ensure games are played within the framework of the philosophy of CYO Athletics and to enforce the unsportsmanlike conduct and playing time rules, as well as the code of conduct.

The matter will be reconsidered and another vote taken. Neither the commission nor the Director of CYO Athletics has the power to overrule the other. In the unlikely event of an impasse, the matter will be brought to the CYO Athletics Advisory Committee.
WE NEED MORE FIELDS!
Friends of Athletic Fields (FAF) is a group devoted to fixing up existing and building new fields to ensure space for everyone to play. CYO Athletics is a vital part of this community- wide effort and welcomes your support to make this goal a reality.
For more information, please contact your parish athletic coordinator or the CYO Athletics office.
Please look for and support FAF events throughout the year.
Help us make the dream come true!
