[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could try Little Flower, although there is a definite cliquishness there as well mostly built around the cult of CYO.  [/quote]

CYO?[/quote]

Someone considering Blessed Sacrament who doesn't know what the CYO is?

It boggles the mind.

Suffice it to say, you are looking in the wrong place.[/quote]

You have never met crazier sports parents than the catholic school families around here. I assume you are not Catholic. Look elsewhere.[/quote]

That's very true. It's nuts. And it has less to do with the kids and sports and more to do with the parents using it as a vehicle for their own social advancement (at least in their minds). Most of the parish schools offer little if anything in terms of extracurricular activities so CYO becomes the only outlet. Better make sure your child is into it and you buy into the scene--or say hello to general alienation. [/quote]

We are at a parish school and CYO is just one activity.  Not all the kids get involved in it and if you are not involved, you can still be in the social circle.  Not sure where you get your info.  Yes, Catholic families tend to encourage sports for their kids, and I see nothing wrong with that...in fact I see it as a positive!  It keeps them busy with a wholesome activity and it is awesome that there is so much parental involvement.[/quote]
