Registration:
Every athlete needs to be registered through the CYO. If your child played basketball
this year he or she is already in the CYO database. Please update any information.
CYO requires a copy of the athlete’s baptismal certificate. Please fax
the baptismal certificate to 202 281-2470. I will write an exemption letter
for non-Catholics attending Holy Trinity. If you child did not play basketball,
please follow the directions on the hand-out. Print out a completed CYO registration
sheet with a check for $90 made out to Holy Trinity. If you are ordering a sweatshirt,
the check will be $110. Please include your child’s sweatshirt size.
All of our activities are part of the CYO program of the Archdiocese of Washington. If you have any questions about the athletic program at HTS please feel free to contact Tom Glass, HTS Athletic Director by emailing Tom Glass
*****Please remember to inform coaches directly if your child will miss
practice, a game or a meet. Make sure you have contact information for your
coaches - especially how to contact them on weekends. -- Thank you.

How to be a Good Sports Parent
From the Sports Done Right initiative at www.sportsdonerightmaine.org
Fixing the crisis in kids’ sports begins at home.
Here are some tips to get parents started:
* Encourage your child, regardless of the degree of success
of level of skill.
* Ensure a balance in your student athlete’s life, encouraging participation in multiple sports and activities while placing academics first.
* Emphasize enjoyment, development of skills and team play as the cornerstones of your child’s early sport experiences while reserving serious competition for the varsity level.
* Leave Coaching to the Coaches and avoid placing too much pressure on your youngster about playing time and performance.
* Be realistic about your child’s future in sports, recognizing that only a select few earn a college scholarship, compete in the Olympics or sign a professional contract.
* Be there when your child looks
to the sidelines for a positive role model.
