Our Purpose

St. Anne CYO provides youth sports and activities for the entire St. Anne community, with focus on the following areas: primary rules and fundamentals of the game, participation with teammates, sportsmanship, and team spirit.

This now includes (but is not limited to) all snack stand volunteers, score board operators, bookkeepers, and student volunteers (different requirements than adult clearances).
Volunteers who are cleared through our parish Safe Environment Coordinator are ALWAYS needed! Please don't wait to obtain your clearance - start the process today!
