- Athletics

We are all set to begin registration for the spring 2023 athletic season. Registration will be open from February 1, 2023- February 14, 2023. Information as follows:

Level	Grades	Sport	Start Date (Tentative)	Requirements (Due @ Start Date)	Fee

New is our K-3 skills camp. This camp will consist of 3 sessions the week of March 14, 2023- March 16, 2023. After the first week, the skills camp will continue sessions one day a week (most likely Mondays) through the week of Monday, May 15, 2023. Run Club will be at a seperate time or date than softball and baseball camp so athletes can sign up for both if they chose. Run Club will begin the first week of April and end before Memorial Day.
Weekly practice schedules will be sent out a week before the start date, and game schedules will be sent out about two weeks after the first practice. Please understand the process that we follow: 1) Determine team enrollment through registration; 2) Assign coaches/ contact CYO to register our teams; 3) Create practice schedule/ find gym times; 4) Receive game schedules from CYO. It normally takes CYO a couple weeks after the first practice to finalize our game schedules. By following this protocol, it offers our athletes the best experience because it gives us the ability to adapt the needs of the program.
When making any athletic decisions our thought process will focus on our primary goal of maintaining in person school, while finding creative ways to keep our athletes physically, mentally and emotionally active.
The spring dual participation rule will continue. Meaning SJA athletes are allowed to play for same sport summer teams for baseball and softball that coexists with the CYO season. We ask for transparent communication with your teams coach and that when game schedule conflicts arise that you attend the SJA game. The regular season is tenatively set to end before Memorial Day weekend.
All athletes need to hand in a physcial form and concussion form before the first practice. Any forms turned in from fall 2022 and winter 2022-23 seasons are already on file for spring season.
