Our sports program involves opportunities for students in kindergarten through 8th grade. Parents participation is key to our athletes’ success. Parents are requested to assist by coaching, refereeing, providing transportation, and by attending the games. Athletes waiting for after-school practice must remain with their teacher until 3:00 p.m. At this time, they may change into sports clothing.

Requirements for Participation in Sports
Principal and teacher approval as well as a signed permission slip from a parent/guardian are necessary prior to sign-up time for eligibility to participate in sports. Eligibility is verified weekly as well as at the end of each trimester. Students must maintain a 2.0 GPA average, with no academic grade lower than a “C-” (75%) and a minimum “B” in Conduct/Behavior.
If a student’s grades or behavior falls below the grade requirements, he or she will be placed on probation for a one-week period. Students will remain on sports probation until grades are at an acceptable level.
Students must have on file the school’s official Diocesan Indemnity form signed by a parent or legal guardian in order to participate. A grade check will be used to determine eligibility.
Sports Fee
To ensure student commitment to the school’s team, and to offset the growing costs of fielding a team,
refereeing and facilities, the following fees will apply:
$125 per sport per student for football, volleyball, soccer, and basketball; this fee includes a jersey/uniform.
(Families who find this a hardship should contact the Principal.)
