Athletics

St. Raphael Parish youth are invited to participate in sports through the Diocese of Cleveland CYO. Our athletics program depends on dedicated volunteers, and we welcome anyone interested in coaching or helping a team. To volunteer, please contact a coach listed below or the Athletic Director.


All athletes must have a current physical on file with St. Raphael Athletics.

Submit physical forms to CYOphysicals@saintraphaelparish.com

  • How do I register?

    Register for all sports through SportsPilot.  Be sure to enter the grade the athlete will be in at the time the sport is being played. 


    • e.g. for Fall sports, use the grade the student will be going into in the Fall of that year


    Youth from neighboring parishes that do not offer a specific sport may join the St. Raphael team for that sport by completing and having approved the Eligibility Request Form (E.R.F.). The E.R.F. must be signed by the Athletic Director at your home parish and then sent to the Athletic Director at Saint Raphael.
