Creating balance
We encourage our students to find freedom to clubs and sports by trying new things, taking risks, and developing both independence and teamwork.
Athletics at Lourdes
Grades 5-8:
Our soccer team is open to students in grades 5-8. The all-boys team season runs from September through the end of October. The all-girls team season runs from March through May. Games are played both on our field and at other schools.
Grade 1-4:
Youth soccer is held on Saturday mornings from September through the end of October. There is a focus on skill development through drills and a scrimmage or game following the practice.
Our ever-popular running club is free for students and families of all ages. We meet every school day at 7:30 on the track to encourage healthy exercise, goal setting, and a non-competitive experience for all.
The fall Cross Country team includes boys and girls from grades 3-8. We have our own cross country course and host a meet each year. The students practice one to two days per week and participate in several meets.
Our spring Track and Field team includes all interested athletes in grades 5-8. We practice on our field and also use area high school facilities. Athletes have several opportunities to compete in area meets in all events.
During the winter season, Lourdes has both boys and girls teams for students in elementary and middle school. Every student makes the team and plays during the games.
In addition, we offer a “minis” program for students in first and second grade. This program exposes younger athletes to the skills and fundamentals of basketball.
Lourdes offers a fun flag football team in the fall for grades 5-8 and in the spring for grades 2-4. The team plays in a local league with practices held after school and games often on weekends.
Football, Lacrosse, Volleyball, Baseball, and Field Hockey
St. Gertrude and Benedictine, our local Catholic high schools, organize middle school teams in various sports for both boys and girls.
All students are invited to participate our developmental sports and enrichment programs.
