“In CSAL programs, emphasis rests not on the number of games won or lost, but on the participant’s attitude in victory or defeat.”

PLAY LIKE A CHAMPION TODAY

The Archdiocese of Denver Catholic Schools Athletic League has adopted the Play Like a Champion Today (PLACT) Sports as a Ministry program from the University of Notre Dame. The Sports as a Ministry initiative of the Play Like a Champion Educational Series is a research-based, child-centered curriculum designed to:

• Help us recognize the spiritual nature of sports;

• Train youth sport coaches to be effective ministers; and

• Promote the moral and character development of our youth.

All coaches and assistant coaches will attend a “Coaches Workshop” and be certified to coach in the Archdiocese of Denver Catholic Schools Athletic League. Coaches and assistant coaches will receive a PLACT workshop certificate, this should be provided to the Athletic Director to be held on file with the school.

All parents of students participating in CSAL programs will attend a “Parents Workshop” and receive a PLACT workshop certificate indicating our solidarity and commitment to the CSAL and PLACT.

For the 2022-2023 Athletic Year, one parent from each participating family must attend a Parents' Workshop for their child to participate in a sport. Families are required to attend only one workshop.  The workshop must be completed before the child can participate in any athletics program.

To register for workshops, please refer to the CSAL calendar:

CONCUSSION POLICY

Effective since the 2012-13 School year, the Archdiocese of Denver has adopted the following Concussion Policy to be enforced for each athletic season. 

All coaches and assistant coaches are required to complete a State of Colorado approved concussion course, which is free.  The course needs to be completed before the first practice.  

Successful completion of the online course will provide a certificate which will be required to be sent to the Athletic Director.
