CYO Sports

All 2025 Fall CYO sports may begin as early as Monday August 11. Tryout/First Practice times and locations will be posted later in the Summer. All students must have a 2025-2026 MHSAA Physical on file in the athletic office (dated after April 15, 2025) before participating in any tryouts or practices.

2025-2026 Winter CYO sports may begin as early as Monday November 10.

2026 CYO Spring sports may begin as early as Monday March 16.

There is no formal signup/registration process for CYO sports at Notre Dame Prep. An interest survey will be sent to Notre Dame Prep families prior to the season to ensure a proper offering of teams. All athletes must be registered students at Notre Dame Prep and in good standing to participate. 

Some programs (Volleyball, Soccer, Basketball, Baseball, Softball) may involve a tryout/team cut process for team placement and others (Cross Country, Football, Cheer, Bowling, Track) are typically non-cut. Specific tryout times and locations are usually available a week or two prior to the start of the season.

Notre Dame Prep teams compete in the Detroit Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) at the middle and lower school levels.

CYO Athletics is a parish-based program that is dedicated to the development of youth as a student-athlete by encouraging them to express Catholic values, sportsmanship and fair play that leads to a positive athletic experience.
