2011 - 2012 Athletic Committee
St. Matthias Athletic Association offers basketball, softball, soccer, track, and volleyball programs. The purpose of athletics at St. Matthias is to develop and enrich the whole person through an emphasis on gospel values. This process concerns the total person's growth spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, and socially.
Each individual is to be valued as a unique person, possessing in his/her own unique gifts from God.
Maximum participation of all who desire to play sports in this parish is a prime value. All registered parish youth who are presently enrolled in St. Matthias School or are actively participating in the St. Matthias Religious Education program will be eligible to participate in all athletic programs regardless of sex or skill. Title IX of the Civil Rights Act requires that equal opportunity be provided to both sexes to participate in athletics. However, it does allow for separation during participation in contact sports.
Eligibility to compete will be determined for the player receiving lower than a "C" (or equivalent) in effort and/or conduct. Eligibility will be reviewed by the principal semi-quarterly. Each situation will be dealt with a on a case-by-case basis. An athletic policy and code of conduct has been developed for all students of St. Matthias.
