Athletics

A healthy body is just as essential as a healthy mind, and at Saint Mary School, students can nurture healthy bodies through a variety of after school sports activities. In conjunction with the Diocese of Bridgeport Saint Sebastian Athletic League, students are invited to participate in cross country, basketball and track. Games and meets are scheduled by the diocese and are played with other diocesan elementary schools on weekends or evenings. Other after-school sports include cheerleading, soccer and volleyball.

This program is designed for those students who want to learn and develop basketball skills, including shooting, dribbling, passing, and game strategies, while also learning the fundamentals of teamwork.

Our practices will begin on Wednesday, November 4th, from 2:30-3:30 pm and will continue through January 2027 (and possibly through early February).

Games will start in January and run for six weeks. They will be held on Sundays in the afternoon for approximately two hours. Last year, games were mostly hosted at St. Joseph’s Danbury and St. Mary Bethel. The format included a referee and a round-robin style with participating teams.

A more formal, detailed schedule will be shared in early December, with locations determined based on gym availability

Parents of all participating students should be aware that they are responsible for any medical expenses that may arise out of injury occurring to their child in the course of these athletic events. Parents are also responsible for their child’s transportation to game events, and are expected to stay at the event as long as their child is participating.

The league is open to all skill levels. Whether your child is brand new to basketball or looking to develop their game further, this is a great opportunity to learn and grow.

The registration fee is $150, and will be charged via FACTS.

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Harron at harronm@smsridgefield.org.
