At St. Patrick School, we believe that athletic participation serves as an important part of a child's education.  There is a wealth of wisdom to be learned that is unique to the athletic arena or playing field.  That's why we encourage all students to participate in athletic activities when and where possible.

      The coaches strive to make the team experience a positive one which develops and challenges the physical abilities of students and teaches the Christian value of sportsmanship in a non classroom setting.  The qualities of physical discipline, team building, winning with humility, losing with dignity, learning from mistakes, courage and pride of accomplishment are just a few of the important values that will be taught and learned through athletic competition.

      St. Patrick will offer athletic opportunities that allow the greatest participation from the student body.  Additional sports and athletic club activities will be designed to provide students of all ages with a fun, educational and well-rounded school experience.

      Conditioning begins in early November with the season ending in mid to late February.  Tournament play begins the first of March.  Games are played in our own St. Patrick School gym as well as other parochial school gyms in the M.T.C.C. (Mahoning, Trumbull Catholic Conference).  More intricate offensive plays are introduced along with aggressive defense skills, rebounding techniques and ballhandling drills.  Practices are held in the Parish Center.
