Parents and Guardians of CYO Athletes,
The Catholic Youth Organization of the Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens is proud to announce a new initiative that will enhance your experience with the CYO Diocesan Community. We are implementing a direct registration policy as the athlete’s first step in the Diocesan CYO Registration process beginning with the 2019-2020 Season.
This will be a simple online process Step by Step Registration Instructions. The $10.00 CYO Membership Fee will be collected as part of the online registration policy and will include the following benefits:
- Easier access to participate in each sport offered within the Diocese of Brooklyn/Queens CYO
- Direct notification of special events and opportunities within the CYO and Diocesan Communities
- Special Discounts with CYO partnered professional and college sports teams as they arise
- Special Discounts with CYO partnered vendors including, Modell’s Sporting Goods, BJs Wholesale Club and many more
- All members will be entered into annual CYO Raffles for special gifts and prizes as well as scholarship opportunities
- Quarterly CYO newsletter and Play Like A Champion Today tutorials and notes
This registration will also allow the CYO Staff better administer the eligibility process, present
you with important faith education opportunities, and strengthen your identification with both
your parish and the diocese.
Registration is still required with Sacred Heart or your parish of eligibility to participate in a specific sport at a local parish. Once the athlete has the required CYO Membership Number, the parish athletic representative will be able to assist you with any part of the registration process should you have any difficulty. The CYO diocesan office may be reached at the number listed above or email [email protected] for any further clarification.
Thank you for your cooperation,
CYO Administration
Just to be clear, as these seem to be the most common answers to the questions asked:
- There is no drop down to add a child. You must sign out and, using another email or the email with the “+” and create a whole new account. Every child is a new registration and needs an individual number. If you go back in, as you think you have an account, that will just change the information for the original child.
- Every child needs a different email address or, if they want to use one email address, I would use for my child #1, [email protected] and child #2 would be [email protected] and so on. That is now the log in for the child’s account. Password can be the same for every child.
- The fee is $10 per child, not per family.
- If you’re getting a blank screen after submitting information, clear the cache. Annoying, yes, but it works.
- I phone and Android users, the instructions, with pictures, are attached. What I call a “box with an arrow” really has a name so it’s better to see it in the information George has posted.
- All of the information entered into the registration is for the child being registered, not the parent.
