2021 CYO Track & Field Season

With the announcement that CYO sports were approved to move ahead for a spring 2021 season, the CYO Track & Field Committee and the Region Track & Field commissioners began meeting to explore the logistical challenges facing the regions, and the health & safety protocols needed to ensure our athletes, parents, coaches, and officials safety.

In accordance with the health and safety protocols issued by the Archdiocese, all athletes, spectators, coaches, and officials will be required to wear masks at all time. Mask exemptions for athletes must be documented with a note from a doctor and sent to the coach and region commissioner in advance.

While we are moving head with a spring season, there will be significant changes from previous years. There will be no CYO Night at the Penn Relays, or Area or Archdiocesan championship meets this year. Regions are able to extend their seasons through May to allow flexibility in scheduling to respond to COVID-19 conditions.

Every Region is facing challenges with facilities due to COVID-19. The Track & Field Committee is requiring that only one spectator per family of athletes attend meets. Officials do not count as spectators, so this is a great year to volunteer!

CYO sports are run by volunteers. To hold a season, our volunteer coaches and athletic directors will have to retain the necessary information to effectively contact trace in the case of positive cases. Please be sure to assist them in whatever way you can.

2020 CYO Cross Country Season

Due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic the Philadelphia Archdiocesan CYO office has determined that Archdiocesan level competitions will not take place during the fall 2020 season. Therefore, we will not be hosting Philadelphia CYO cross country meets at Belmont Plateau as we have in the past.

The start of the fall CYO season has been pushed back to September 1, 2020. A reminder that, under CYO rules, no activities can take place until PA mandatory mask update is lifted.

Local parishes may be able to host certain activities under the guidelines that Archdiocesan CYO office will continue to put out. Philadelphia CYO Cross Country will not be coordinating local events. It will be up to the pastors, local CYO officials, and coaches to make arrangements and determine the best course of action for their parish.

We continue to pray for everyone's safety, for those we have lost, and the swift end of this terrible pandemic.

2020 CYO Track Season Cancelled

In connection with the closure of schools in Pennsylvania due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 CYO Track & Field season has been cancelled.

Our sincere hopes and prayers are with everyone in this difficult time. Stay safe!
