Without the support of our volunteers, the St. Rose CYO program would not be possible. Our volunteers dedicate their time and embody the Christian attitude of positive support and respect for all the athletes while teaching the sport and promoting the values of sportsmanship and teamwork. In addition, they strive to motivate, encourage, and teach so all players can reach their potential and learn their value and responsibility to the Team, Church and Community.

All St. Rose CYO volunteers (coaches, assistant coaches, coordinators, etc.) must attend the Protecting God's Children program, sign the codes of conduct, and complete the Sterling background check through the Virtus website before starting the sports season. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. As an organization, we aim to give parents and guardians the highest degree of confidence that their children are participating in a fun and safe environment.
