All teams are led by CYO certified and VIRTUS trained volunteer/parent coaches. Students enrolled at Lakewood Catholic Academy or who are parishioners at St. Clement, St. James, St. Luke or Transfiguration parishes are eligible, per CYO rules, to participate. A CYO physical form, signed by the student’s pediatrician, must be on file prior to the first practice (physical forms are valid for thirteen months).
