​St. Mary of the Assumption strives to provide a high-quality CYO experience by ensuring that every athlete:
​
  • is coached using the principles of positive coaching
  • has fun playing the game
  • feels like an important part of the team regardless of performance
  • learns “life lessons” that have value beyond the playing field
  • learns the skill, tactics and strategies of the game and improves as a player.
St. Mary’s recognizes that the coach is the one who most directly makes this all possible. It is our goal to provide every coach with the tools to be a successful, positive coach. We are committed to creating a positive culture in which coaches, parents, fans, officials and athletes work together to achieve our mission.
