St. David’s Sports Program
Catholic Youth Organization (CYO)

At St. David School, we are committed to nurturing well-rounded students who excel both academically and physically. In partnership with Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) Athletics, we provide students with the opportunity to participate in competitive sports that emphasize teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship—all within a faith-centered environment.

Our CYO program is open to boys and girls in grades 3 through 8, welcoming students of all skill levels. Whether they’re new to a sport or experienced athletes, students are encouraged to build confidence, form lasting friendships, and embrace the value of commitment through athletics.
