Coaching Requirements
If you are interested in coaching, go to the sport's registration link on Teamsideline, click the "Volunteer" button, and register. All coaches and assistant coaches must be fully compliant with the CYC Coaching Requirements.

Safety
St. Joseph Athletic Association takes safety very seriously. We have multiple AED equipment at our facilities with 1 in the foyer outside the St. Joseph gym and 2 at Wiles Field (1 in the concession stand and 1 mobile unit to bring to fields as necessary). In case of injury, ice packs are available.

Sportmanship
All athletes, coaches, and spectators must adhere to good sportsmanship. Parents, please review and follow the CYC Parent Code of Conduct. Coaches, please review and follow the CYC Coach Code of Conduct. When you attend a CYC game, please remember you are representing your family, your team, and your parish community. Most importantly, you are modeling the proper behavior for your child. Kids see everything you do at their games. They need your encouragement and support. When they make a mistake, they look to you for support. Please don’t shake your head or criticize their actions. Be positive at the game and don’t forget to tell your kids you love to watch them play. Additionally, no heckling or remarks to officials will be tolerated. There is zero tolerance towards bad behavior to officials by all in attendance. Spectators or coaches' bad behavior could impact your student athlete's opportunity to play.

Registration
Registrations are first come first serve. There are no guarantees so sign up ASAP. Once a waitlist is formed a minimum number will have to be met in order to create another team. Sign up early in order to be assigned to a previous years team.

Refund Policy
All refund requests MUST be made in writing (emails are sufficient), and addressed to appropriate lay director of that sport. All accepted refund requests for registration fees (paid) will be processed according to the following guidelines:

• All refunds are subject to a $5 administration fee.
• Requests received prior to Team Application Submission that does not affect Team Formation = 100% Refund less administration fee.
• Requests received after Team Application Submission that does not affect Team Formation, and is requested prior to first scheduled game (including tournament games) = 50% Refund.
• Requests received after Team Application Submission that does affect Team Formation = No Refund.

        NOTE: If uniform was received, uniform must be returned prior to refund being issued.

Concession Stand Duty Requirements
At the time of registration, each family will be charged a registration fee. The fee will be refunded once you complete the concession stand duty. Concession stand duty signups will be sent out to all who have registered for a sport once the sport schedules are available. If you are unable to work the concession stand, no refund will be provided.

Uniform Maintenance Fee
A $10 uniform maintenance fee will be applied to all CYC sports where the player is borrowing a uniform to help keep overall costs down and allow us to continue to have proper uniforms to use.
