The grade school athletic
program for St. Catherine Parish members is administrated by the
tri-parish Northwest Catholic Athletic Association (NCAA). The
association is staffed by volunteers from St. Catherine, St. Bernadette,
and Our Lady of Good Hope parishes. The Northwest Catholic Athletic
programs promote the growth and development of Catholic moral principles
by emphasizing fun, teamwork, learning and self-satisfaction through the
experience of competition.
There are 7 sports offered through the NCAA. These include:
▪
Volleyball ( Girls grades 5-8 and Coed High School CYM)
▪ Soccer (Coed grades K5-4, Coed Grades 5-8)
Eligibility for all sports is in accordance with
Milwaukee Archdioceses guidelines requiring all participants
to either be attending one of the day school programs at the parish
schools or be parish members and
actively attending one of the Religious Education programs. Detailed
information for participants is available through the school offices in
the Northwest Catholic Athletic Handbook.
There are many opportunities
for parish members interested in sharing their talents and time to
assist
with the various athletic teams or committees. There are approximately
50 teams involved in the seven
sports each school year. Volunteers are needed to staff concession
stands, coach, assist coaches, coordinate a sport, or serve on the 18
member NCAA board. Those working with children need to attend
a sexual abuse awareness training session as mandated by the
Archdiocese.
