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.

Sportmanship

Sportsmanship at St. Francis is an integral part of the mission of the school. SFE is dedicated to fostering our Franciscan tradition by encouraging an inclusive, positive vision in our boys and girls through exercise, athletic competition, and fully recognizing the dignity of each student. With this in mind, the following goals of SFE Sportsmanship are:

a. To build a community which strives to model the charism of St. Francis;

b. To develop faithful spirit, school spirit, team spirit and personal acceptance;

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;

i. To provide a Franciscan, Catholic environment and outlet for youthful energy;

j. To teach the positive value of athletic participation
