Athletics

Mission Statement

We, the St. George Athletic Department, are a group dedicated to the needs of the student-athletes of St. George School, recognizing that athletic competition plays an important role in the growth of the student-athletes spiritually, morally, physically, and socially.

God gives us talents and skills to enjoy our leisure time. We strive to provide a quality program of athletic instruction. We know that through this program the participants learn leadership, gain confidence, and build self-esteem. They are taught to compete with honesty and integrity by using the gifts God has given them.

As in the Catholic community, the individual serves the needs of the team. The true team player uses Jesus Christ as a model. Therefore, a Catholic education must include the development of the WHOLE individual-physically, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually.

Athletic Standards

If a student receives multiple (more than one) failing grades (“Us”) on a REPORT CARD in the SAME TRIMESTER, then the student is banned from athletics until the following school year.

If a student has two or more low averages (below C minus) when the grades are periodically checked (Progress and Report Card), then the student must sit out for two weeks. After the two week suspension the student may return. If the student participates in or attends any St George athletic event, (practice/games) while on suspension the student will have an additional week suspension added to the original two-week suspension.

Coordinators, coaches, players and parents will be notified by the Athletic Director when a student-athlete is placed on “academic probation” and when the child is placed off. There will be NO exceptions or excuses if this probation is violated; only the Athletic Director can place a student on or off athletic probation.
