This spring, St. Francis de Sales, Belle Harbor, expanded its Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) flag football program to include sixth, seventh, and eighth grade teams comprised only of girls — the only parish in the diocese to field such a squad. While the CYO flag football league is technically a co-ed league, the vast majority of young athletes are boys.
