ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY

St. Mary Athletic Association provides an extension of the Christian educational experience. Any student who is enrolled at St. Mary Parish School or a child whose family is a registered member of St. Mary Parish and is enrolled and actively participates in St. Mary Christian Formation Program can participate in this program. This program is part of the Archdiocese sports programs and follows all regulations set forth by the Archdiocese.

Athletic Philosophy: 

Grades 5K-4 sports are designed to be recreational. Grades 5-8 are competitive.

All Students will conduct themselves as ladies or gentlemen, in a Christian manner at all times, before, during and after practices and games.  Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action up to and/or including suspension or dismissal from the team.  Since players represent St. Mary Parish all school conduct rules apply at all times.

St. Mary Hales Corners Parish parents and student spectators are expected to exhibit the highest level of sportsmanship at all SMHC Parish sponsored athletic events, both home and away.  Parents, students, and fans that display “unreasonable” or unsportsmanlike conduct toward referees, players, and/or other spectators will be asked to leave SMHC Parish events.  If a parent refuses to honor this request the family will be dropped from the St. Mary Parish Athletic Association program for the remainder of the season for that particular sport.  Continued unsportsmanlike conduct at SMHC Parish athletic events may result in further actions deemed necessary by the SMHC Athletic Board and/or School Administration.

Only students enrolled in St. Mary Parish School or children of registered St. Mary Parish members actively participating in St. Mary Parish Christian Formation classes may participate in St. Mary Athletics.
