Below is a list of MANDATORY workshops for coaches and volunteers.


Coaches Workshops
The "Coaching To Make A Positive Difference" clinic is REQUIRED by the CYC in order to coach sports. The speaker of this workshop is Bill Bommarito of Coaching Concepts. The coaches who have already attended this workshop have spoken very highly about Bill and his program. All CYC Head Coaches must attend this clinic. Once you are issued a card of completion, please report to the Sport Commissioner the identification number on your card to gain approval of your roster from the CYC. You may be asked to present your card at each game in order for your team to be eligible to participate in CYC play. Each Sport Commissioner will present information to all coaches regarding these clinics each year. This clinic is FREE OF CHARGE for all head and assistant coaches of SGM. Once you attend this clinic, you will not have to attend it again in the future. Feel free to browse   www.cycstl.net/coaches to learn more about these sessions and to view a schedule for upcoming sessions.





Volunteer Seminars
The Archdiocese of St. Louis has initiated an educational sexual-abuse prevention program called, "Protecting God's Children", which is mandatory for ALL volunteers - including coaches - who work with children at the parish on a regular basis. This is for anyone who helps with the youth of our parish. Each session lasts about 2-3 hours and each group will be asked to view a couple videos. The session moderators will keep track of who completes this mandatory program. Once you attend this workshop, you will not have to attend it again in the future.

There will be sessions scheduled at SGM in the near future. Please contact our parish office at 314-965-3985 to schedule your session soon!
