Jim Negri CYO Volleyball Tournament

The Oakland Diocese CYO hosts the annual "Jim Negri Tournament" for 7th and 8th grade CYO teams.  7th and 8th grade girls' Oakland Diocese CYO volleyball teams will play next January 2021

All CYO activities – games and practices for CYO Fall Sports – CYO Cross Country, Boys' CYO Basketball, Girls' CYO Basketball (in the eastern part of the diocese), Girls' CYO Volleyball – are suspended until at least January 1, 2021.

This action is based on the uncertainties of the progress of the pandemic, the challenges in keeping our young people, volunteers and families safe in sports, and in accrodance with guidelines from the State of California along with directives from the Alameda and Contra Costa Health Departments. 

The presidents of each of the CYO leagues will meet in late October to assess the situation at that time and to make recommendations about the feasibility of playing modified schedules for these sports.  There will also be consideration regarding the spring CYO sports.

CYO will continue to be a vital ministry in our Church for our young people. We will resume play with our leagues when possible and through  the dedication of our many players, coaches, athletic directors, coordinators and volunteers. While we wait, we will all continue to pray for those affected by the pandemic, that our churches and schools will open soon and that our children will stay healthy and safe.

Information on coaches workshops, playoffs, tournaments and other information, when available, will be posted on this page or other pages in this website. For individual league game schedules, see the link to your team's league, to the left, or contact your team's coach or your parish/school CYO athletic director.
