St. Margaret Mary Alacoque School Athletics
Home Of The Spartans! 
 
At St. Margaret Mary School, our athletics program plays an integral role in fostering character, sportsmanship, discipline, and healthy living. We believe that participating in sports helps students build confidence, learn the value of teamwork, and develop leadership skills that extend far beyond the game.
 
Developing Every Athlete
Our sports program is designed to welcome and challenge students of all skill levels:

  • For Beginners: We create a supportive, encouraging environment where students can try new sports without pressure. Coaches focus on teaching fundamental skills, understanding game rules, and building confidence on and off the court or field.

  • For Experienced Players: We provide competitive growth opportunities, refining advanced techniques, tactical strategy, and mental conditioning to help seasoned athletes excel in high-level play and prepare for high school sports.


What is CYO Sports?
St. Margaret Mary School competes in the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) athletics program. CYO organizes interscholastic leagues among Catholic elementary schools throughout the archdiocese. Through CYO, our teams compete against neighboring parish schools, offering students a structured, competitive sports environment rooted in Christian values, fair play, and mutual respect.
