We are pleased to announce that Saint Joseph School (SJS) will be participating in NVJCYO Volleyball this Spring 2022 season.
SJS is a proud participant of the diocesan Northern Virginia Junior Catholic Youth Organization (NVJCYO), where the goal is for our activities to foster cooperation, respect, sportsmanship, responsibility, leadership, competitiveness, fairness, and courtesy.
SJS CYO Volleyball is a spring sport and is open to girls in grades 7 through 8. First practice and registration for Volleyball begins on March 23th and 24th from 3:30-5pm. Ongoing practices will be determined after teams are formed and coaches assigned and will most likely be twice a week for 90 minutes. Games begin in April and are played on the weekends at various schools throughout the Diocese. The number of games will be contingent upon gym space. The season goes through the end of May.
Masks will be optional for athletes, coaches, and officials. If health conditions or federal, state, or local guidelines change, we will notify participants and families as it relates to specific NVJCYO activities or events. Part of the registration process will include a COVID wavier. All participants must turn one in, prior to participation. In this waiver participants and families commit to self-health screenings, reporting of positive COVID cases among other things.
We are always in need of more coaches to volunteer their time and share in the talents with our SJS children. If you are interested in coaching, please email me, Jim Tierney, at tierney1113@gmail.com for next steps.

The program is two parts: an online background check which can be completed at arlingtondiocese.org. Choose Protecting our Children and then follow the instructions to complete your application. The second part is attendance at a Virtus seminar. These seminars can be found at virtus.org.
