About SJS Athletics 

“Our athletics should go hand in hand with our youth ministry. Sports well understood and practiced contributes to the development of the whole person because it demands generous effort, careful self-control, mastery of self and respect for others, complete commitment and team spirit.” - Pope John Paul II

The Saint John Athletic program provides a safe sports environment that serves as an extension of the school’s academic and religious programming. It is designed to develop within each athlete Christian values and Christian attitudes toward one another. All participants will learn the fundamentals of each sport and be given the opportunity to cultivate strong, healthy and disciplined minds and bodies. Participants will also develop a sense of good sportsmanship, fair play, and team spirit, as well as facilitate and enhance the moral and ethical development of all those involved.
