Spartans! Sports Program

St. Paul of the Cross School is a member of the Catholic Youth Organization (cyola.org) and adheres to its policies, rules and regulations. The aim of CYO is to oversee an athletic program for Catholic elementary schools of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles to assist its Member Schools in their effort to instill Catholic values and educate the whole child. Through the CYO program, student athletes have opportunities to compete with athletes enrolled in other Catholic elementary schools. These athletic activities provide a wholesome outlet for a student athlete’s physical energy while strengthening the student athlete’s spiritual and social values.

Sports are open to boys and girls in grades 5 through 8. Generally speaking, fifth and sixth grade athlete’s will play at the “B” level, seventh and eighth grade athletes will play at the “A” level.
Students must maintain a grade of “C” or better in all subject areas and no lower than a “B” in conduct and effort. Failure to maintain such an average will result in a probationary period for the athlete of two weeks. Failure to meet the requirements of probation will result in ineligibility for that sport.
