Middle School Athletics
Inspiring confidence and character.
Eastside Catholic Middle School is committed to helping all young people grow and maintain healthy bodies, strong spirits and active intellects. We believe physical activity plays a vital role in helping young people grow into healthy, confident individuals. Through our sports and physical education programs, we emphasize collaboration, inclusion and skill development, ensuring every student can enjoy an active life while building lifelong habits of wellness and teamwork.
In addition to our required fitness and health curriculum, the middle school participates in the
Archdiocese of Seattle Catholic Youth Organization (CYO)
athletic program. Our athletics program is consistent with the mission and vision of our school and the philosophy of the Archdiocese of Seattle. We encourage all students to be involved in at least one CYO team during each year of middle school.
Catholic Youth Organization (CYO)
CYO Sports Offered at EC
Athletic programs are seen as one way of implementing the mission of CYO. Program goals include increasing:
Self-confidence and self-reliance
Interpersonal competence
A sense of caring toward others
Skills development
Youth are brought together from different parishes, schools and social backgrounds in an atmosphere that fosters the recognition of one's strengths and limitations, the lessons of winning and losing and respect for all involved: fellow players, opponents, coaches and officials. In other words, CYO is in the business of teaching life values that aid boys and girls in their development toward adulthood. It is worth noting that CYO Athletics does not view itself primarily as a sport developmental program.
