Athletics

Rigorous activity leads to a vigorous intellect. At St. Charles, we believe in the spirit of good sportsmanship and good health. Our 5th-8th grade students participate in co-curricular volleyball and basketball.

Chairperson Andy Tully

Lord God, Father of us all,
We ask you to be with us as we
begin this game.
Watch over and protect our athletes.
May the competition be strong
and spirited,
but tempered with good
sportsmanship and fair play. At
the end of the game, having won
or lost,
may we be satisfied knowing that
we did our best.
We ask this through Christ
our Lord. Amen.
