Athletic Handbook and Forms
Buffalo Diocese Athletic Handbook: The Buffalo Diocese has released an updated "Elementary Athletic Handbook." The Handbook includes rules and guidelines for all of our sports leagues. Also within this handbook are a parents and player code of ethics, coaches agreement and code of ethics and sports team rosters. Please read through this handbook and make sure each league you participate in follows Diocesan Standards.
VIRTUS Training and Certification: The Diocese of Buffalo requires all coaches to attend the "Protecting God's Children" seminar before beginning any coordinated activity with the students. This seminar is the only formal requirement to coach. It is a seminar you only need to take once and is offered at many different dates and locations within the Diocese. Please go to the National Catholic Risk Retention Group, Inc. VIRTUS Online web site for more details.
