Dear CYO Parents,
It is with a great deal of excitement and anticipation that we
embark on another year of CYO sports at SJF.
As this year gets underway, we have a reconstituted local
athletic board that is doing a great job of preparing our
programs for action and success.
One significant change from years past is the participation fee
structure that we will employ.
Rather than continue the past practice of subsidizing the
participation fee for athletes, we have adopted a new fee
structure for the coming year that will cover the entire
participation fee for each athlete in each sport (fees for
Basketball and Track will be published when CYO publishes its
fees for those sports).
The table below details the fees and the costs that go
into them:

While the new approach will result in higher costs for each
participant in each sport, it will allow the program to move
forward on a more secure financial footing, no longer dependent
on annual fundraising activities to cover the cost of the athlete
participation subsidy. Due to declining revenues from the Sally
Foster gift-wrap program- down 50% over the past two years- it
was necessary to make this change.
Also, we have eliminated other elective expenses that have
contributed to the subsidy deficit.
We believe this is the most responsible way to move the
program forward and we will continue to look for innovative ways
to support the program and keep participation costs as low as
possible. Moreover,
the new costs are in line with those charged by other CYO
programs in the city and remain a competitive value when compared
to other athletic opportunities within the greater Portland area.
Please note that the fee structure for the 2010-2011 year does
not include a provision for the development and maintenance of a
cash reserve for the program to cover recurring operating
expenses, e.g., new/replacement uniforms and equipment.
To establish this important safety net, the program will
continue to operate the snack bar, host tournament games and
conduct other minor fundraising to develop and maintain the
operating reserve.
SJF CYO is grateful to the PTC for granting an additional
allocation of Family Volunteer Hours (FVH) for hours worked in
the snack bar and as gym monitors during the season.
Details on these FVH opportunities will be available as
the school year approaches.
