Athletics at St. Francis
Mission of SFE Sports
Through participation in sports at St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School, students will grow physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. SFE sports provides the opportunity for the student-athlete to exhibit a progression of physical skills and knowledge of a sport in order to enable him/her to apply these skills and knowledge to new situations.
Through participation in SFE sports, the student-athlete learns that God is active in all things and that love invites a personal response, beyond self-interest or self-centeredness, toward valuing others and the community of a team.

c. To instill Christ-like sportsmanship in the life-styles of the participants;
d. To teach the participants the proper attitude towards winning, losing and competing with dignity;
e. To develop and appreciate the diversity and uniqueness of others;
f. To train, instruct and follow athletic/sport rules;
g. To develop the students’ physical abilities and coordination;
h. To help form well-rounded students by fostering good health habits;
