Welcome to OLPH CYO's new website

What's NEW!

OLPH CYO's website has undergone a 'Radical' change

As you have noticed the main page has a new flash photo slideshow. In future, photo's taken from OLPH CYO Events will be categorized and added. The old flash photo slideshow was difficult to update and that is why for almost 2 years you would see the same photos on the slideshow. Now, it is simple and quick to change/add photos to the slideshow.

Parents are encouraged to send their photos if they choose to do so. Parents wll receive an email confirming that their photo has been received and when it is posted on the OLPH CYO website. The photos will be removed as the site is updated with newer photos.

Problems
If you are finding that you are displaying the old OLPH CYO main page, simply hit the 'Refresh Button' on your browser to show the updated page.

Any other problems - contact the Site Manger via the link at the bottom of the main page or hit here .

Congratulations Christina

Here's Christina throwing out the first pitch at the Missions game on June 14. She is wearing the "First Pitch Kid" t-shirt over her OLPH uniform. She also chased the Puffy Taco that night...... very memorable!

Click on the links below to see her in action.

POST 1 - Welcome to OLPH CYO's new website

On behalf of the Board Members and Commissioners and all those people who made this possible, I, James Jaskinia (President of OLPH CYO) would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our NEW website.

Please read the following notices (Post 1) concerning our new website to find out what the website offers and how to use it.

Who is this site designed for?

The website is designed for you... afterall you are browsing on it now! It is targeted at anyone who is interested in our activities, events and programs but particularly for the parents that have children enrolled into a sports program.

   
top

Purpose of the website

The purpose of this website is primarily to provide information to the community. It will provide many answers to questions that are posed by parents, such as registration dates, fees, locations and directions etc. But its much more than that - its interactive. Users (thats you!) can actually subscribe to our calendar and by doing so you can receive email notification from OLPH CYO when, say, your coach schedules a game that your child will play, for example (see Calendar below for more information).

Whats NEW?

Well, at this point its all new! As far as OLPH CYO is concerned, we're still doing the same things, but the website is going to make things a lot easier for us, but more importantly, for you.

Home Page

The home page (www.OLPHCYO.org) provides you with links to the most common places. It will also display links to this Notice Board whenever OLPH CYO wishes to inform you of a change or an upcoming event etc.

  • Navigation Bar

At the top of the page, under the OLPH CYO title, you will see a 'Navigation Bar' with links to pages such as 'Scholarship' and 'CYO Contacts' etc. Clicking these links will take you to those pages where you can browse and further explore.

By the way, at anytime you click on the green CYO logo (on the left) it will automatically take you back to the home page. Try it! - to get back to here just click the back arrow on your browser window.

(Sometimes a smaller version of the CYO logo is used as a bullet, like on the first page where it is positioned next to the sports links - in this case the logo is part of the link and if you click it it will take you to the relevant page.)

 

top
  • Sports Links

All of the sports that are offered are found on the home page. Each sport has its own page. To navigate to the page simply click on the sport link. If you click on the CYO Sports tab on the Navigation Bar, which is in between 'Calendar' and 'Contact CYO', you will be taken to the general information page for our sports. However you will also find links (like the ones on the home page) on the CYO Sports page to take you to the specific sports pages.

 

top
  • CYO Events

The CYO Event Link on the Home Page will take you to a page that issues details on special events such as the 'Coaches Appreciation Dinner', 'OLPH Night at the Spurs', 'OLPH Night at the Missions', and the City Sponsored, 'All City Banquet'. The Page will contain information regarding dates, times and locations for those concerned.

   
top
  • Notice Board

Each time a new message is 'posted' on the notice board it will be given a new number. For example the first message posted is 'Post 1' and the next message is 'Post 2' etc. The links on the top right are the same links on the left but have the dates that the message was posted next to them and it also makes it easier to see if any new Posts have been added since the last time you checked. In each Post there are headings that when clicked will take you to that paragraph (just like what happened when you clicked 'How to use the Notice Board'). So for example, if you wanted to find out about how to use the Calendar on this website, you could simply click the 'Calendar' link (in POST 1) and it will take you to the information. To return to the top click the 'top' link on the left or scroll up.

 

top
  • Miscellaneous Links

Various other links can be found throughout the Home Page but particularly at the bottom. If you move your mouse over them a pop-up message will display indicating where the link will take you. Clicking them will take you to that page. Note, that some of these links may take you outside of OLPH CYO's website. If it does it will open another window on top of the OLPH CYO's window. i.e. it will not close this website. Therefore if you are taken to an external site and want to get back, you can close the external site window and we will still be here. Clicking the 'back' button will not work as the external site is in a NEW window.

Scholarship

The Scholarship page will be updated as neccessary to provide information to those interseted in applying for an OLPH CYO Scholarship. It also gives details on who is eligible and how to apply. NEW - You can now apply online and the completed form will be emailed to OLPH CYO for your convenience.

Radical Reverse Raffle (RRR)

The RRR occurs once per year around April time. The 'RR Raffle' page provides venue information and how to apply for tickets. The page will be updated with photographs after this years venue and will be further updated later in the year providing information for next years event. A link to this page can also be found with the Miscellaneous Links on the Home Page. When this page is updated with new information it is likely you will find a new link on the Home Page.

Age Division

This page is updated annually and its purpose is to provide the parents the information they need to determine what sport age group their child(ren) fall into before they register.

Calendar

The Calendar is probably the main reason for users to visit this site. The Calendar is 'categorized' into specific sports. For example, if you have a child enrolled into the Softball team, you have the choice to view only the calendar events that are related to Softball. You have the choice to view all of the Calendars at once if you desire. (Note: there are not many seperate Calendars as it may sound - there is only one actual Calendar - it is the information that is displayed that changes i.e. just 'Softball' or 'All Sports and Events'). It is a good idea to view only the events that are relevant to you so that you are not overwhelmed with the multitude of non-pertinent events.

Each coach is responsible for uploading the teams practices/games and meetings. You also have the option to have these events emailed to you as the coach uploads them.

  • Purpose

The purpose of the Calendar is to disseminate date and time information regarding games to the parents, date and time of OLPH CYO Board meetings, and other special activities and events. It will also serve as an organizer to those who subscribe.

  • How to Use

On the calendar page (http://www.olphcyo.org/calendarexpress2.1/month.php) you will see the calendar in month view and displaying the current month.

    • View

To view the calendar by week, month, year or today place your mouse over 'View' at the top of the calendar and it will display the options for you to click on.

    • Calendar List

Clicking on the 'Calendar List' option at the top of the calendar takes you to a page that displays all of the calendar categories and sub categories that are available.

What is a calendar category and sub category? Here is an example:

 
      • OLPH CYO Sports (category)
        • Baseball (sub category)
        • Basketball (sub category)
        • Soccer (sub category)
        • Softball (sub category)
        • T-ball (sub category)
        • Track (sub category)
        • Volleyball (sub category
      • CYO Meetings (category)
        • Coach Certification Classes (sub category)
        • CYO Events (sub category)

If you wish you can view all of the sports events by viewing 'OLPH CYO Sports'. If you are only interested in viewing events for a particular sport such as 'Softball', then you can simply select the 'Softball' sub category. All you will see on the calendar will be events related to Softball, thus making it easier to view - i.e. less clutter!

Of course you can view 'All Calendars' which will display every event posted.

Similarly, you can scroll to the bottom of the calendar and select the categories and/or sub categories from the drop-down menu. Both this option and the one previously described produce the same results. If you want to view a category such as 'OLPH CYO Sports' you would select it from the drop-down menu under 'Select a Category'. This will display all of the sub categories (i.e. all of the sports calendars) on the calendar. If you want to view only the events for a particular sub category you can select it from the 'Select a Calendar' drop-down menu. Of course, if you have selected a category first under 'Select a Category' the 'Select a Calendar' drop-down menu will only display its sub categories. If you want to view all of the sub categories make sure you have selected 'All Calendars' from the 'Select a Category' drop-down menu first. This may sound complicated but in fact it is very simple; the best idea is to experiment with viewing the calendars.

    • Suggest Events

If you think of an event that you would like posted on the calendar you can 'suggest' it. If it gets apporved you will find it posted on the calendar. To suggest an event simply click on 'Suggest Events' at the top of the calendar and fill out the details. Some fields (information) is required and other fields are optional. To suggest an event, all required fields must be completed.

    • Search Feature

The Search feature is an excellent tool. It is found at the bottom right of the calendar. If you want to search for an event that has the word 'Soccer' in it or search for an event by the coaches name you can do so by entering your search criteria into the box, where it reads 'Search for...', and clicking on the 'Search' button below it. The events will be displayed that match your search criteria.

  • How to Subscribe
    • Log In

If you would like to subscribe to OLPH CYO Calendar, click on the 'Log In' link at the top of the calendar. On the following page click on "Register Now' and complete the form. By registering you can receive emails from OLPH CYO regarding events.

CYO Sports

The CYO Sports link on the Navigation Bar takes you to the general information page for our sports. However you will also find links (like the ones on the home page) on the CYO Sports page, that will enable you to navigate to the specific sports pages, such as Soccer, Softball or Basketball for example. This page will be updated as neccessary to display current registration dates.

Contact CYO

All Board Members and Commissioners are listed on the Contact CYO page. You may contact them via the email link.

Map / Directions

The addresses of the CYO fields are listed on the Map / Directions page. Two links, 'Map' and 'Directions' are given for each address. The 'Map' link shows a local area map and will usually be sufficient to those who live nearby. The 'Directions' link takes you to another pop-up page where you are requested to input your address, upon which you are given driving directions and a map courtesy of MapQuest. The map and direction pages will be seperate pages - after you have examined the directions (or printed them) simply close the window to return to OLH CYO's website.
