Ready, Set, Goal! Catholic Youth Sports

Participating in Catholic Youth Sports in the Archdiocese of Baltimore advances the holistic development of young athletes by nurturing their spiritual, social, emotional, and physical well-being within a faith-centered environment.

Promoting Christ-centered values like teamwork and perseverance helps young people deepen their understanding of their faith and the important part that they, like all of us, play in strengthening our community.

Catholic Youth Sports in the Archdiocese of Baltimore

  • foster a strong sense of community among participants, coaches, and families, promoting friendships and mentorships;
  • emphasize virtues like honesty and compassion, aiding in character growth through competition and teamwork;
  • encourage a culture of physical fitness through regular exercise, enhancing strength, endurance, and coordination;
  • teach valuable life skills like discipline and resilience, which are beneficial both on and off the playing field.

Catholic Youth Sports in the Archdiocese of Baltimore exist to make disciples both on and off the field by engaging athletes and their families in the life of their parishes. The sense of belonging to a faith community provides identity and connection, while leadership opportunities allow athletes to serve as team captains or mentors furthering their personal growth and community involvement.
