Biddy Bash

Big Smiles for the Littlest Players

Our Biddy Bash was created to give our youngest athletes in the Biddy Division the same sense of celebration and achievement as our older players.

The event kicks off with team-bonding activities, followed by professional photos for each player and team. Coaches also receive a mini coaching clinic led by experienced community mentors, ensuring the learning never stops for anyone involved.

After just one year of hosting the event, CYO recognized the need we identified and formally adopted the Biddy Bash, validating our vision. Today, the Biddy Bash is co-hosted by The Initiative and CYO and permanently scheduled so that every team gets a game that weekend. What began as a grassroots concept is now an official part of the CYO calendar, a powerful sign of collaboration and progress in youth sports.

The day ends with a trophy ceremony and lots of smiles as the kids receive their custom shirts and celebrate the end of their season.
