The Athletic
Program is sponsored by Holy Family Parish and is to reflect the Catholic
faith and the faith-values of Holy Family Parish and of the Roman Catholic
Church. These faith-values will be reflected in decisions we make, in
the approaches that we take to the children in our program, and in everything
about our Athletic Program, as well as every other area of our parish
life.
The Athletic
Program is regarded as an extension of our grade school and religious
education program--that is, the values and philosophy conveyed by the
coaches and staff of the program must be seen as a continuation and
furthering of the Catholic Christian values our children are taught
in our school and religious education program.
The following
Parochial League sports are part of the Holy Family Parish Athletic Program: boys
and girls basketball grades 5-8, co-ed soccer grades 5-8, 7th & 8th grade boys football,
co-ed volleyball grades 5-8, and 7th & 8th grade girls cheerleading/pon poms. In addition, Holy Family School offers an inter-school basketball tournament, the "John Moran Memorial Roundball Classic Tournament", and an annual Golf Outing and Steak Fry.
Holy Family Parish Athletics is a participation-based, volunteer run program. Every child who signs up for a sport is placed on a roster, the number of teams is adjusted each year based on the number of participants. In addition, every participant receives required playing time each game or match. We rely on the time and talent of our Parishioners; parents and non-parents alike, for coaching, refereeing our Roundball Tournament, and coordinating the Golf Outing. It is the willingness of our Parishioners to give of themselves that enables our programs to flourish. Should you be interested in volunteering your time and talent to our Athletic Program, please contact the Athletic Director.
