ALL SAINTS CATHOLIC SCHOOL ATHLETICS
The athletic program at All Saints Catholic School is an extension of the learning experience for our students. We believe that participation in athletics provides students the opportunity to continue to develop physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially in a Catholic environment beyond the school day.
“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
