I’ve been playing CYO sports at SLDM since I came in fifth grade. As well as being in the concert band (I’ve played clarinet for the past four years), I played soccer in sixth and seventh grade and I’ve played basketball since fifth grade. I’d probably say I like soccer more, but basketball is a close second. In soccer, I played midfield and keeper, and in basketball I played either power or small forward. My favorite coach is probably Steve Parker. He coached me in both soccer and basketball and helped me greatly improve in both sports. CYO sports to me are a great opportunity for kids to play sports they love while being surrounded by a Christian environment.
