Status of 2020 Fall Sports (Soccer and Cross-Country) and Other Sports Participation Options
With the Archdiocesan CYO's announcement that the 2020 CYO Fall Sports Season has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be no CYO Soccer or Cross-Country this fall.
The St. Jane CYO Board is exploring options to allow parish children to participate in skills training, drills, and games in a safe, parish-based, in-house environment. More information will be provided as it becomes available. To assist with this initiative, please contact St. Jane CYO President James Hoffman at james.hoffman@veritas.com or by calling 240-205-0041.
Alternatively, for anyone interested in youth soccer outside the CYO (i.e., not associated with St. Jane de Chantal), the St. Jane CYO soccer commissioners can provide information on what is available. Since registration in these non-CYO leagues is ongoing, please contact Anthony Aquino (anthonyaquino@verizon.net) and/or Pat Jordan (patjordan1@gmailcom) as soon as possible.
Please note that either approach (i.e., in-house @ deChantal or a non-CYO league) will be a volunteer-driven initiative. Please consider serving as a coach or assistant coach. Coaching as part of the in-house option (or for possible CYO 2020-21 Winter Sports), requires Virtus certification.
