| ABOUT ST. SEBASTIAN'S CYO The St. Sebastian's CYO program is open to 3rd-8th graders who reside within the St. Sebastian's parish boundaries. The area generally includes Sebastopol, Forestville, and parts of west Santa Rosa. With the exception of the 3rd grade level, children are placed on teams based on their skill level (Division I, II, III, IV, etc., until every team is placed ) at the time of a skill assessment. Each parish's program operates under the direction of an Athletic Director. The Athletic Director is responsible for assuring the integrity of the program and has the final say in the way the program is run within the CYO bylaws and rules. Registration occurs during the month of September and practices officially begin in mid-October. The first games of the season begin on the first weekend of December and generally ends at the end of February. Playoffs for all grade levels, with the exception of 3rd grade, are generally held at the end of February and beginning of March in a single elimination format. The top four teams within each grade level and division are eligible to participate in the playoffs. Every effort is made to schedule 10 games (5 home games and 5 away games) for each team. However, due to the number of teams available in each grade level and division, this may not always be possible and some teams may be given byes.
