Athletics

Being a student at St. Pats allowed me to play whatever sport I wanted without having to worry about not making the team or not getting any playing time.

Directions to Other Schools

St. Patrick School offers football, basketball, wrestling, and baseball for boys; volleyball, basketball, and softball for girls; and cross country and track for boys and girls.* Teams compete against other area schools. At St. Patrick, all students who go out for a sport are afforded the opportunity of playing time.

Questions about our sports program may be directed to Steve Baird, Athletic Director.

*Football, wrestling, baseball, and softball are played in conjunction with Cedar Valley Catholic Schools (CVCS). 

If you have a student participating in sports you are automatically a member of Booster Club. There is no fee to join. Instead, there is a small participation fee for sports participants.* Booster Club helps with our school's Annual Appeal and Main Event and runs a concession stand at games in the gym to provide financial support for student activities. Direct donations to Booster Club are always appreciated and maybe directed to the school office. 

Each school year, students participating in school sports will need to turn in a sports physical form, concussion form, and agreement. Forms and the fee sheet are on the Parent Resources page.  

School sports are offered beginning in grade 5, but younger students have opportunities to participate together in team sports through the Cedar Falls Recreation Center, Youth Sports Foundation, Sailor Nation, and other area organizations. These teams are coached by parents and volunteers. Students may also participate in sports camps at St. Patrick, Cedar Valley Catholic Schools, or the public schools.    

*We keep these fees at an absolute minimum for our families. However, if a fee is prohibitive for participation, please contact the school office.
