ATHLETICS

The Holy Redeemer Athletic Program helps teach our parish children the fundamentals of a sport, teamwork, discipline and camaraderie, all while having fun. Athletic participation and the lessons taught are vital components of a child’s growing experiences. Children learn the value of hard work, discipline, self-sacrifice, and teamwork.

Athletic participation also helps to develop the whole person, in spirit, in mind, and in body, by competing with perseverance, self-control, and grace in defeat, humility in victory, and exemplary conduct. Children are able to apply these experiences in their learning experiences and future lives.

In addition to providing Holy Redeemer Parish children with an organized sports program where they can develop the physical, technical, tactical, and mental skills necessary to participate in various sports, the Athletic Program seeks to develop self-discipline, the spirit of cooperation, good citizenship, and the respect for rules and authority.
