St. Mary's Sports
The St. Mary's Athletic Commission welcomes you our sports program webpage.
Today, our program consists of six (6) different sports, all under the rules and regulations of the CYO by-laws. These sports are, by season:
Fall Season
- Boys Football - The Football program usually consists of three (3) teams, Developmental, Cadet and Varsity. The football season begins in August, with conditioning for all grades. The season will generally start in early September.
- Girls Volleyball - The Girls Volleyball program generally consists of a team from each grade (4th thru 8th). The season begins practice in August. Games begin in September and last until early November.
- Girls Cheerleading - Like Football, the Girls Cheerleading season begins in August and ends in early November. There are two (2) squads, a JV squad that cheers for the boys Junior Varsity games and the Varsity squad that cheers for all the Varsity Football games. The Cheerleaders sponsor an annual Fall sports Pep Rally at the beginning of the season (usually the end of August). They also have one fundraiser per year to help defray the costs of the team uniforms. All St. Mary's girls, 4th thru 8th grade are welcome to join.
Winter Season
- Boys/Girls Basketball - This is by far our largest program of the year. Usually about 150 athletes strong, the basketball program is for girls & boys, grades 4 thru 8. We also provide a High School basketball program for grades 9 thru 12, usually split into JV and Varsity. This program begins in November, with games starting in mid December. The season generally lasts until early March. As an added bonus, each team is eligible to attend two (2) tournaments during the season. Some games are played at St. Mary's (either the school gym or the Garrity Center), but most games are played at neighboring gyms.
- Wrestling - This is a relatively new program. Practice starts in November, with meets beginning in December thru February. There is an annual meet at St. Mary's Garrity Center.
Spring Baseball
- Boys Baseball - Both the Boys Baseball and Girls Softball programs are in cooperation with St. Adalbert's Blackhawks. All St. Mary's athletes are notified when registration is being held at St. Adalbert's. All fees are paid directly to St. Adalbert's.
- Girls Softball - Both the Girls Softball & Boys Baseball programs are in cooperation with St. Adalbert's Blackhawks. All St. Mary's athletes are notified when registration is being held at St. Adalbert's. All fees are paid directly to St. Adalbert's.
