Softball is just one of the many sports we offer at St. Agnes Academy. Each semester presents students with new athletic opportunities, and we highly encourage students of all experience and skill levels to try out for the team(s) of their choosing.
We offer 12 different sports during three seasons and have more than 500 students involved in at least one of our 36 teams throughout the year. We also offer a number of athletic summer camps for students looking to hone their skills and stay active when school is not in session.
Do Students Benefit From Participating in High School Sports?
At St. Agnes Academy, we firmly believe that well-rounded students are healthy, happy students. We encourage our pupils to participate in athletics and other extracurricular activities to help them learn valuable life skills and diversify their abilities.
Participating in high school sports is a great way for students to build upon the foundation being laid for them in their academic classes. Some parents are surprised to learn that participation in high school sports has actually been linked to higher levels of academic achievement.
Playing team sports, in particular, can help students learn valuable lessons about teamwork, collaboration, and communication that will continue to serve them in academic and professional settings for years to come.
Are High School Sports Safe?
We know that safety is a top concern for our students and their families. That’s why we take steps to ensure that our athletics department operates with the utmost concern for our players’ health and safety at all times. With the guidance of national, state, and local officials, our staff works to deliver top-tier athletic programming that aligns with all current recommendations.
We require annual athletic physicals for all students looking to participate in our Tiger Athletics programming, and the physical and mental health of our student-athletes is constantly being monitored by members of the athletics department.
Based on the founding principles of the school, our Tiger Athletics program implements policies and activities that are designed to help students develop intellectual curiosity, work for social justice, and act with integrity and compassion in all things.
Our commitment to supporting the well-being of our student-athletes helps contribute to student success and cultivates a safe and nurturing community for all participants.
