CAPPS

1st Place Spirit Wear

This prayer will be prayed together as a team before all home games.

God our Father,

 

You have created us for greatness on and off the playing field/court/course.

Grant to all of our Holy Family athletes, our opponents, the coaches, officials and fans 

the courage to pursue virtue during our game.

We pray for the safety of these athletes, protect them from injury and harm.

And finally, we pray for your Grace, that you would grant us the fortitude and perseverance to play in a Christ-Like manner.


Holy, Mary, Morther of God, pray for us.

St. Joseph, Guardian of the Holy Family, pray for us.


Amen

Multiple Sports and Activities 


We encourage athletes to be well rounded, participating in different activities both athletically and otherwise. Different sports challenge athletes in different ways, and the skills developed through the training methods used in one sport will often help the athlete in another sport. 


Multiple sport participation - student-athletes may not participate in multiple team sports at the same time. Student-athletes may, however, participate in a lifetime sport (cross country, golf, tennis, cheer and track) and a team sport. Good, open communication between the student-athlete, his/her parents, and the two coaches involved is important. A priority will be declared in case of scheduling conflicts and agreed upon by the coaches. Pre-season is the best time to begin this dialogue. 


Multiple activity participation - student-athletes may participate in a non-athletic department (i.e. fine arts) program and on an athletic team at the same time if leadership from both activities gives permission to do so. Leadership from both activities will work closely together to minimize conflict, however, reserve the right to require, on rare occasion, sole commitment to their activity. Where there is dual commitment and schedule conflict, there must be a declared priority and agreements made between student, parents and team or department leadership before the seasons begin as to how the student will divide his/her time between the activities. The decision to participate in multiple sports or multiple activities should ultimately be decided by the parents and student. 


Athletic Handbook


The Athletic Handbook for the 2024-2025 school year has been updated. Please take some time to read through it. If you have any questions or need clarification, please contact Mary Jo Kilburn.

Athletic Handbook

Eligibility


If a player’s grades (Progress Reports and/or Report Card) fall below a 70 or he/she receives a “U” in conduct in any subject including specials, the student will not be allowed to attend games or scrimmages until the next progress report or report card shows improvement above a 70 or an “N” or better in conduct. The student may participate in practices on campus. 


On the date the student becomes eligible again, he/she may resume his/her position as a team player. This information is listed in the student’s progress report. At the next eligible period, the student must have 70 averages in all subject areas and may not receive a U conduct grade on a report card or progress report. Students who continue to earn below 70 in any subject become ineligible. Eligibility is determined at progress report and report card time. 


If a student becomes ineligible for participation in student activities at progress report or report card time, he/she will not be eligible until the next reporting time. (Diocesan Policy 307)


Example

Academic QTR 

  • 3-week progress report - warning, regain eligibility from previous report card
  • 6-week progress report - failing grade - no participation in games/scrimmages, may participate in practices. 
  • Report Card - failing grade or "U" in conduct - ineligible. They can regain eligibility at 3-week mark, if passing or conduct grade improves. 

Fall Sports


Great start to our season this week! There were several wins for our Angels!

Play Like a Champion Today (PLACT TRAINING - Parents)


For a student to participate in athletics at Holy Family, a parent must attend the Play Like A Champion Today, Sports as Ministry workshop. It is MANDATORY that this workshop be attended by at least one parent. This is a ONE-TIME per family training while at HFCS. If a parent has already attended the PLACT training in the past, they will not need to attend again. The student will not be able to attend any practices or games until this requirement is met. There is a $10 fee to attend the class.
