PARENT MEETING

For students in 4th through 7th Grade 
who plan to play football in the fall

GRACEAC will be moving forward this fall to a new football program.  It will be called 'Catholic United Football - West Side'.  St. Anthony will no longer have their own football team, but will be joined/merged with other players from the West Side, and form a team that will participate in the Northern Rocket league.  The West Side team will be under the leadership of Joe Hyland, head football coach for West Catholic.

If your son plans to play football in the fall, please attend a parent meeting MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26TH, AT 6:30 PM, IN THE WEST CATHOLIC CAFETORIUM.  This meeting will go over the transition and what parents and players need to do.


WILDCAT ATHLETIC

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 -

  1. Track
  2. Lacrosse (boys and girls) - Catholic United teams
  3. Girls Soccer
  4. Tennis (boys and girls) - Catholic United teams
