All students in grades 5 through 8 are welcome to participate in the sports program at St. Cyril of Jerusalem (3rd grade and up may participate in track, and girls cheerleading; all grades may participate in swimming). Athletic programs are designed to foster growth in self-discipline, self-affirmation, and the ability to work well with others, including coaches and fellow athletes. 

All athletes are expected to act in accordance with the spirit of cooperation and healthy competition. Participants are expected to strive for continual improvement in skill and ability through practice, exhibit a positive attitude and conduct themselves in a manner that contributes to the welfare of the team.  Students who choose to do otherwise risk suspension or dismissal from the team. Each student and parent must sign a Code of Conduct Form prior to participation in a sports program.

Students who are consistently not working to their full potential or behaving appropriately may be at risk of forfeiting their opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities such as after-school sports, clubs, or classes as stipulated on the Code of Conduct Form.

Due to space, equipment, and/or coach availability, limitations are sometimes placed on the size of some sports teams.
