Yesterday we dropped the Spring schedule but, before we turn the page on the Winter season, we wanted to first send out a BIG shout out to all of our WPCYO Coordinators, as well as your coaches and volunteers!
On behalf of the WPCYO, we want to thank all of you for your tireless efforts and everything you did to make this season an incredible success! Our number of teams was up, incidents were down, and you could feel the excitement of players, coaches and and fans competing and having fun!
We had 605 teams in WPCYO this season, up from 586 last year and our highest number since COVID. We also had 278 teams competing in this years post season, the highest we've had in the WPCYO playoffs! We used multiple sites for our WPCYO playoffs, and drew big and loud crowds for these games...a special thanks to all the sites that hosted, you again did a phenomenal job!
Congratulations to all the WPCYO teams that competed in the Archdiocese playoffs! Our league was well represented, with two champions, three runners-up and seven teams that made it to the semi-finals!

Congratulations to the players and coaches, and to all of the fans who turned out to cheer them on!

This was the best of CYO, what it is all about!
