Athletics

The St. Francis de Sales Parish School Student Athletic programs are offered by the school to help in the total development of the child. The programs are an important aspect in the schooling of the child, yet it is also a privilege. The students represent our school in the community. Therefore, we need to have responsible Christians participating.

Athletics can be a value as a supportive element to the total education process. The process concerns the total person, the person’s growth as an individual – spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically and socially. Such activities play an important but secondary role in the education of our children and youth. These activities hopefully utilize and develop further the skills being taught in the classrooms. In addition, the development of physical skills exceeds those which can be learned in the classroom. Therefore, while extracurricular activities play a very significant role, they cannot be a substitute for primary skills.
