Our Sports

We are the Vikings!

The athletic program of St. Thomas of Villanova Catholic School is an extension of the school’s philosophy and academic program. The athletic program exists to instruct children not only in the fundamentals of a sport, but also the importance of sportsmanship and the responsibilities of being a team member.

The athletic program’s main goal is to teach the children that participation in athletics is enjoyable and a way to learn more about one’s abilities. Student athletes, parents, spectators and coaches are to maintain a Christian standard of conduct that adheres to the School’s rules, to common decency and respect for others. While winning is important, the object of competition is learning to do one’s best, regardless of the outcome, and never at the expense of others.
