Fall registration is officially open!!! Please go to gesubulldogs.com to begin your registration. For sports we offer look on the main page. Registration will close at midnight on Monday July, 27th.          NO EXCEPTIONS

Just a few reminders and notes. 

Please upload your child(ren) updated physical or scan one over to me. Please see my previous email for more details on physicals. 

This is not new but with the special circumstances this year. I wanted to remind everyone that CYO can not always make a league for the sports we offer. This tends to happen for boys soccer (5/6th grade). If for whatever reason you sign your child(ren) up for a sport and CYO is not able to support a league (due to lack of teams). I will refund your money. 

COACHES NEEDED:

Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time last year to coach. All of you are the heartbeat of our great athletics program. If you are interested in returning or want to coach for the first time. EITHER WAY. Please email me and let me know what sport and grade you wish to coach. I am not assuming any coaches are returning. I have already received a few emails. Thank you for reaching out and wanting to return this year! 

Coaches Development Program (CDP) (required for all new CYO coaches): The sessions will be done virtually this year. This makes it much easier for all to attend and get their coaching credentials! Once I get more information on when they will be held and the specifics. I will pass the information along. 

Cross Country: Our beloved Coach Rockwood will not be returning this fall. Thank you to Coach Rockwood for all of his years of service at both Saint Dominic's and here at Gesu! If anyone is interested in coaching cross country. Please let me know. 

Rookie Tackle Football: We are introducing the first ever rookie tackle team at Gesu this fall. It is essentially the same as traditional tackle football. The only difference is you play 7 vs. 7 instead of 11 vs. 11. Smaller field and the idea behind it is to lessen the high impact plays. It is designed to be an introduction to tackle football. I encourage anyone that has interest in playing tackle football later in their Gesu career or during their high school career to start with rookie tackle. The rookie tackle team is for 5th and 6th graders. We will need coaches for this team since we did not have it last year.  Please email me if you are interested. 

Football:  Traditional tackle football will be offered for 7th and 8th graders only. Please register for football ASAP. This is a sport, I along with our coaches need to know what the numbers look like. This impacts where and when we can practice, the drills and style of practice our coaches can start to plan out etc. Due to the drop in participation over the recent years. I am planning on combining our 7th and 8th graders into one team. CYO makes a league of teams made up of 7th and 8th graders (our opponents will not be made up of all 8th graders). We did this last year and we finished 4th in the entire diocese!This is with only having 13 healthy players from the middle of the season on. Our entire 7th/8th grade coaching staff is returning and gaining our 6th grade coaches from last year. Our players are in great hands! Any questions or concerns please reach out. 

Looking forward to getting back to sports this fall! 

GO Bulldogs!
