Catholic Youth Sports

St. John Vianney Catholic School subscribes to the philosophy that sports and team participation are positive avenues for building mature, well-rounded individuals who develop emotionally, intellectually, and physically. The Athletic Program at St. John Vianney teaches the value of teamwork, mutual respect and the joy of participating, while developing talent, a healthy sense of competition, self-discipline, and honesty in a religious/academic environment. All who participate in the athletic program – students, coaches, parents, and spectators – are challenged to behave in ways consistent with Christian values. For this reason we actively participate in and support the Catholic Youth Sports (CYS) program. Visit the CYS website to learn more at http://www.catholicyouthsports.org.
