CYO Athletics
St. Gabriel School CYO Athletics
Honor God > Be Respectful > Try Your Best > Have Fun
The 24-Hour Rule:
At St. Gabriel CYO Athletics, we ask parents, coaches, and commissioners to wait 24 hours before addressing any concerns or incidents from games or practices. This pause allows emotions to settle and encourages thoughtful, respectful communication.
Reflection Prayer:
Lord, help us to pause, reflect, and approach each situation with patience and understanding. Guide our words and actions so that we respond with grace, support our young athletes, and honor You in all we do. Amen.
By taking this time to reflect, we model respect, self-control, and faith—helping our Cubs grow into confident, respectful GRIZZLIES both on and off the field.
At St. Gabriel Athletics, our goal is to help student-athletes grow into respectful, confident young men and women. We believe sports teach powerful life lessons, and our coaches focus on three core rules: Honor God, Be Respectful, Try Your Best, and Have Fun!
Through hard work and commitment to their team, athletes develop skills that extend beyond the field—strengthening their character in the classroom and the community. Our young Cubs grow into proud GRIZZLIES!
