Youth Sports Outreach

For more than 70 years, athletics and activities have been a source of excitement and pride for the Thunderbolt community. They are the physical and outward representation of our community. The central Catholic high school approach in Lincoln means that passion for the Thunderbolts is shared by our supporting parishes and schools. Truly, “We are Pius.”

Our parish schools connect with Pius activities—and sports in particular—in several ways:

• Formation of youth teams comprised of parish or Catholic school students (e.g., YMCA affiliations)
• Pius X High School camps
• The Junior High League for 7th & 8th graders
• The recent launch of “Junior Bolts” (JB) programs
• Parish family events like Parish Family Football Night, which build community, create enthusiasm, and support enrollment

These and other youth sports programs are not directly affiliated with Pius X High School; they are independent entities that associate with Pius but are not governed by it.

The Youth Sports Outreach Coordinator role serves as a Pius partner to youth programs, fostering unity and mutually beneficial relationships with the junior highs, programs, and families in our community. The YSOC will not only unify and protect our efforts, but it will also help build a bright future.
