Athletics
G Johnson - Athletic Association Director
St. Peter the Apostle School offers a full-scale athletic program as an extra-curricular activity. The St. Peter the Apostle School Athletic Association sponsors and supports the sports program for students under the auspices of the school administration. The Association is open to all parents. There are annual fees.
The coaches of all the teams are volunteer parents and/or friends of the school. Anyone with an interest in coaching or assisting should contact the Athletic Director.
The basketball and volleyball teams practice in the school gym and play some of their games there. To offset part of the cost of operating and maintaining the gym, an admission is charged to league games, and a concession stand is open.
It takes people to operate the concessions and to sell admission tickets at the door. The parents/guardians of those students on teams are expected to volunteer to help sell tickets, work the concession stand, and clean up after at least one game.
Coaches are advised that academics must take precedence over sports. Teachers do not share any report card or progress report card of any student with the coaches, Athletic director, or Assistant Athletic Director. However, after consultation with parent/guardian, teachers are asked to make the coaches aware of problems with an individual student concerning academics and/or discipline or failing to complete assignment/homework.
To be eligible to participate in sports, a student is required to have a passing grade or be measuring up to his or her ability as determined by the teachers and Administration of the school.
Any student who is suspended twice (in-house or regular suspension) will be ineligible for sports for the remainder of that quarter and following quarter, even if it continues into the next school year.
