STM Athletics Program
St. Thomas More Catholic School offers all students the opportunity to participate in a variety of sports, thanks to the dedication and support of our incredible parents, families, volunteers, and supporters. Our Athletics Program is run by the STM Athletics Committee. Their contact information can be found below. Students in the program gain more than just skills in hitting, kicking, shooting, or throwing—they also learn valuable life lessons like fair play, leadership, teamwork, and sportsmanship. We are deeply grateful for the selflessness of our volunteers, as their commitment is the heart of our Athletics Program.
STM Athletics offers:
- Soccer/Micro-soccer (boys and girls in ALL grades!)
- Volleyball (girls in grades 3rd through 8th)
- Basketball (boys and girls in grades 1st through 8th)
- Coach-pitch/Fast-pitch/T-ball Softball (girls in all grades!)
- Baseball/T-ball (boys all grades!)
All coaches and parent volunteers, must complete the Archdiocese Safe Environment Training. If you plan to have any interaction with the players during practices or games, please complete this certification. Each head coach must provide the Athletics President with a complete list of all coaches and volunteers so that they can be cleared prior to working with the children. You can find more information on this link Safe Environment Training.
