Static Class Template member initialization

I have an issue when trying to initialize static members of a static class template.

Basically, what I thought this approach would be useful for: I have a lot of objects, which are of course all of the same Base type but they have differing object types. I just want to manipulate these objects, that's why I decided to use a static template as there are quite a number of different types these object can consist of.

However, for logging and options passing I wanted to add the corresponding members to the template whithout having to write initializers for every derived static class.

Please note that the following code is not actually working, because there is some SDK involved. I'm just aksing for the right approach, not right code.

Thanks in advance. :)

template.h:

#ifndef _TEMPLATE_H
#define _TEMPLATE_H

#include "stats.h"

template<class T>
class TemplateObj
{
public:
    static void SetParameters(const Options& options)
    {
        T::_options = options;  // Is this even possible?
        T::Init();
        T::DoStuff(_options);
    }

protected:
    static void Message() { stats.Print("Message from Template static method"); }
    static Stats& TemplateObj<T>::stats = Stats::GetInstance(); // This will not work as this is a non-trivial initializer, how to do it correctly? Stats::GetInstance() retrieves a singleton instance
    static Options& TemplateObj<T>::_options;   // Possible?
};

#endif

derived.h:

#ifndef _DERIVED_H
#define _DERIVED_H
#include "template.h"

class Derived :TemplateObj < Derived >
{
public:
    static void Init();
    static void DoStuff(Options& options)
};

#endif

derived.cpp:

#include "derived.h"

void Derived::Init()
{
    // Init stuff here
    TemplateObj::Message(); // Call static method from template directly
}

void Derived::DoStuff(Options& options)
{
    // Do something with options 
    stats.Print("Message from derived static method."); // Access to "stats" here. "stats" should be declared and initialized inside the template.
    options.Load(); // Example
}

main.h

#include "derived.h"

main()
{
    TemplateObj<Derived>::SetParameters(new Options);
}
