The goal of the STA Athletic Department is to provide each athlete the opportunity to achieve excellence in a number of different sports, and to create a positive environment for developing the athlete’s entire wellbeing. We strive to promote athletics as an integral part of the total Catholic education program. We strive to provide student-athletes with a balanced schedule that will give them the opportunity to compete at the highest level.
The focus for teams at the Bantam and Juvenile levels (grades 8 & 9) is to maximize participation, improve individual fundamental skills, develop team skills, and provide student-athletes with positive athletic experiences.
At the Junior and Senior levels, the individual and team focus is more competitive. Emphasis is on team concept development and execution. In an effort to prepare for competitive competition and to ensure that participation will have tremendous value, athletes will be pushed beyond their normal comfort zones.
If your son or daughter is competing on an STA team, you must complete the Consent Form found here before they participate in practices or games. In addition, the Athletic Player Package must be completed and can be found here.
If you have any questions about the athletic program at STA, please contact Athletic Director Nick Allen at nallen@aquinas.org or 604 987 4431
