REMINDER....
If your son or daughter is playing a winter sport, 
please remember to turn in their $25.00 sports fee (per player).  Checks can be made out to St. Anthony Boosters and 
sent into the School Office.



Spring Sports for students in 5th,6th,7th and 8th grade:

If your child is interested in playing a spring sport, you MUST register them through Graceac.  If you do not do this, they will not be placed on a team and will not be allowed to play.  Please register by  February 5th.  Please be aware that students are only allowed to sign up for one spring sport with Graceac.   Due to practices, games, and meets, it is difficult to participate fairly in more then one sport.

Here is the link to Google form for registration -  


 
Here is a brief review of the spring sports:

  1. Track
  2. Lacrosse (boys and girls) - Catholic United teams
  3. Girls Soccer
  4. Tennis (boys and girls) - Catholic United teams
  5. Softball - hopefully enough to form our own league
  6. Baseball
