Sports

The aim of SJNDS is to give every child an opportunity to participate in a varied athletic program. Students in grades 5-8 may participate in the Parochial Athletic League (P.A.L), an after school sports program. The P.A.L. is designed to promote good sportsmanship, develop physical coordination and give the participants the opportunity to meet and enjoy new friends and, in doing so, enrich their lives. Participants in this program are representatives of our school and their conduct and sportsmanship must be representative of a SJNDS student. Volunteers for coaching make extracurricular athletics possible. All volunteers are expected to follow school policies and guidelines.

Sports include:

• Cross Country (Boys and Girls, Grades 5-8)
• Boys’ Flag Football (Grades 6-8)
• Girls’ Volleyball (Grades 5-8)
• Boys’ Basketball (Grades 5-8)
• Girls’ Basketball (Grades 5-8)
• Track and Field (Boys and Girls, Grades 5-8)
• Golf (Boys and Girls, Grades 5-8)

Little Dribblers

Children in grades 1-4 may participate in the Little Dribblers Program. There is a Little Dribblers team for boys and girls in each grade, 1-4. This program is designed to develop basketball skills in our younger students and give them the opportunity to play against teams from other schools in a non-competitive setting.
