Sports & Registration
Registration is done through Sports Pilot and is now open for ALL Sports. All St. Ambrose families are encouraged to create a family profile, even if your child does not plan to participate in CYO at this time. Sports Pilot will be used as CYO’s primary means of communication with families.
Athletes are encouraged to demonstrate their interest in a sport by registering at any time before the deadline. Log in to Sports Pilot to view fees and pay. Payments—in part or whole—can be made at any time during the school year. To avoid the late fee, please pay in full before the payment deadline. A $25 late fee will be assessed for late registration.

Saint Ambrose CYO Board/Coaches
The CYO is operated by a Board made up of St. Ambrose parents serving as sports coordinators and officers (see list below). CYO coaches are primarily St. Ambrose parents who volunteer their time.
We are always in need of additional coaches for sports. Coaches and Board members must be Virtus trained and are eligible for a set number of school volunteer hours. Email [email protected] if you are interested in coaching.
All questions and comments regarding CYO should be directed to the CYO email address: [email protected].
