Athletics
The athletic program is designed to develop skills and good sportsmanship in both boys and girls. Holy Name of Mary School offers after-school teams in volleyball, flag football, basketball, cross-country, soccer and track. Students in grades 5-8 are eligible to try out for teams. Students in grades 3 & 4 may participate in track and cross-country only.
Practice schedules vary for each team, but in general practices are held from 3:00 – 4:00 p.m., three to four days a week. PE uniforms must be worn for after school sports. Students are given practice and game schedules at the start of each season. Students unable to participate in PE may not play in after school sports. Students absent from school may not participate in any after-school activity for that day.
Students who are absent from school may not participate in sports scheduled for the same day. Students participating in after-school activities, who leave campus to purchase food or drinks, may not return to the after-school program that day.
