The Intra-Mural Athletics program provides opportunities for teamwork and skill-refinement. New Coed Tennis!
In keeping with our mission statement, the athletic department seeks to help every student develop physically.
In addition to Physical Education (PE) during the school day, we provide the opportunity for our students to participate in extracurricular intramural sports. We concentrate on teamwork and contact with several sports.
Every student's primary concern is their academic grades, but the athletic program gives students an additional area to explore and develop the gifts God has given them.
We are a member of the North Suncoast Catholic Schools Conference (NSCSC) and we compete within the Conference and with other local Christian Schools.
The other teams in the NSCSC include St. Anthony School, Notre Dame School, and Bishop Larkin School.
We have numerous sports in the extracurricular athletic program :
Co-Educational Tennis Team for boys and girls in 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Grades Co-Educational Golf Team for boys and girls in 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Grades Boys Flag Football for boys in 6th through 8th Grades Junior Varsity Volleyball for girls in 5th and 6th Grades Varsity Volleyball for girls in 7th and 8th Grades Junior Varsity Boys Basketball for boys in 5th and 6th Grades Season: December-January Varsity Boys Basketball for boys in 7th and 8th Grades Varsity Girls Basketball for girls in 6th, 7th and 8th Grades Varsity Soccer for girls in 6th, 7th and 8th Grades Varsity Soccer for boys in 6th, 7th and 8th Grades Cheerleading Squad for girls in 5th through 8th Grade. The squad cheers for sports and represents the school in local parades Season: Fall through Spring
The sports are offered at different times of the year to give students the opportunity to experience each sport. Each team has its own coaches and uniforms. The cheerleading program overlaps the basketball season, keeping some of our cheerleaders quite active, as they participate as cheerleaders for the boys' basketball games and then play in the girls? basketball games.
The variety of sports, both individual and team, offers students the structured environment to build teamwork and self esteem. Approximately 80% of the middle school students participate in our athletic teams. The sportsman-like conduct which is expected of all our participants helps them to learn discipline and self control. These teams foster a spirit of teamwork, generosity and enthusiasm. The framework of the program focuses on giving everyone the chance to develop their God given talents and contribute to the team. We begin each game/match with prayer.
