Athletics
St. Bede Catholic Parish offers sports programs for girls and boys who attend the parish school, faith formation or live within the boundaries of the parish. The importance of being a student athlete is emphasized with the children, and participating in sports is seen as a privilege rather than an expectation. These programs are offered through the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) Diocese of Oakland CYO Sports.
In our efforts to form children to be hard-working, responsible, and caring individuals, it is expected that student athletes of St. Bede Parish will do the following:
Academics:
- Strive for academic excellence. Our participants must understand that their first priority is to focus on academics as well as being an athlete in the CYO or GAP program.
Conduct:
- Demonstrate good citizenship, a high degree of sportsmanship, honesty and respect at practice, during games, and in school.
- Failure to comply with these conduct expectations may result in suspension from practice and/or games, which is determined by the head coach or Athletic Director.
- Suspension or expulsion from school will result in an automatic suspension from practice and games until the head coach or Athletic Director allows permission for the athlete to actively participate in the sport.
Attendance:
- Attend school on a regular basis.
- Student athletes who are absent from school are ineligible to practice or play in a game on the day of the absence.
- Student athletes absent from school for more than 1 day, including Friday, can attend practice or games that are held on that Friday, Saturday and Sunday to support their teammates on the sidelines rather than be an active participant.

These roles have been appointed by Father Seamus for this school year to help structure and create the process for the merging of our two athletic programs. At the conclusion of the school year, the process will be to have an election for these positions. We are excited for this new phase and look forward to a great sports year.
