Sacred Heart Winter Sports Schedule

Keep up to date with Sacred Heart’s sports this winter with this schedule link below. You can also find the Winter Sports Schedule on our school website under “Athletics” and “SHAA Events”.

Winter Sports Schedule

During basketball season, it's great to see our school spirit with so many student fans in attendance. Unfortunately, some of our student fans are not supervised by an adult and leave the building to walk around the neighborhood, play around in the basement of the Activities Building, or run onto the court without permission during timeouts or breaks.

To ensure your child's safety and to make sure that games are run smoothly without issue, it is required that students in 8th grade and under have an adult in the building that is supervising them. This can be a parent or one parent that can supervise a group of students. Students cannot be dropped off without a plan for adult supervision.

Please make sure that students:

Do not go onto the court and play during timeouts or breaks between quarters or half time.
Sit in the bleaches only and not on the floor at the baseline.

Thank you for your cooperation in making this a fun and safe basketball season!
