Ss. Peter & Paul Catholic School Athletics
Catholic school athletics enhance the relationship between faith, religious practice, and the activities of daily living. Sports programs are an integral part of the Catholic educational and catechetical mission.
For instance, school athletic programs present ideal opportunities for teaching youth important life lessons: setting and meeting goals, controlling impulses, overcoming challenges and obstacles, and learning to sacrifice for the good of others. Playing sports can teach youth self-discipline, respect, responsibility and perseverance, and generate moments of pride, satisfaction and joy, regardless of the wins and losses a team may experience.
All of these virtues and social and emotional abilities are at the core of the Gospel message. Making connections between such virtues and abilities and the person and teachings of Christ is one of the challenges of making a sports program a truly Catholic experience, which is the challenge facing every Catholic school.
Fees: The athletic fee is $50 per sport, with a $100 athletic fee cap (subsequent sports are free).
Coaches: Coaches are all volunteer parent coaches. Please consider coaching a sports team and helping to make our sports program a success! If a parent coaches a sport, we waive the athletic fee for that sporting season for their child.
Physical: Please have a current sports physical on fie prior to the beginning of the student’s sports season.
