Students Code of Conduct

Code of Conduct:

Visitation BVM Catholic Youth Organization is affiliated with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.  The objective of the parish CYO Athletic program is to foster growth and development of all participating members.  Our focus is on teaching the game as well as play it.  CYO is open to all Visitation BVM students and PREP students in grades 5-8^th.  Our Pee Wee program is open to all Visitation BVM students in grades K-4^th.

Principles of Christian Behavior:

As members of the parish CYO program, we commit to the objectives of our program and agree to live by the spirit of these principles. As such, we will strive to be Christian role models and demonstrate leadership and behavior that most favorably represents myself and Visitation BVM. We will participate in and support the full scope of CYO-sponsored activities. We as parents and CYO participants pledge the following: 

• To respect those volunteers in the program who are reaching out to young people through athletics.
• To respect and support all teammates regardless of ability or skill level.
• To set the standard for exemplary sportsmanship behavior, including the demonstration of the highest respect for the officials and opponents.
• To show appreciation for the significant contributions of coaches, parents, priests, and faculty to the success of the program.
• To keep schoolwork as my top priority and to notify my coaches, teachers, or moderators of any problem that may affect my ability to participate in the program.
• To respect all facilities and equipment used in support of the program.

Failure to adhere to the above principles and guidelines may result in suspension or dismissal from the program for either the parent or the participant.  Violations are serious matters. They may be reported by all persons affiliated with the program and will be reviewed, with participation of the coaches involved and the CYO Board.  By completing the registration, I certify that I have read the above statements, have discussed them with my child, and we will abide by the Principles of Christian behavior.
