SPORTS
A CATHOLIC YOUTH SPORTS program justifies its existence, and the sacrifice and expense it entails, only if it helps young people practice and live Gospel values through their athletic experience. Athletic programs can help young people toward imperishable crowns as well as perishable ones.
In Catholic Youth Sports programs, emphasis rests not on the number of games won or lost, but on the participants' attitude in victory or defeat. Learning how to lose is just as important as learning how to win. Learning how to win graciously is more important than winning itself.
~ The Most Reverend Salvatore R. Matano, Bishop of Burlington
