Some of life’s most important lessons are learned on the playing field: how to work hard, be tough, and deal with defeat. Athletics isn’t an option at Holy Child. Every child in the third and fourth grade participates in an after-school intramural sports program, and every child in fifth through eighth grade plays soccer in the fall, basketball in the winter, and lacrosse in the spring. Our coaches excel at teaching the appropriate skills, and our competitive sports teams play a regular schedule every season against area private and parochial schools. At the Athletic Awards Dinner in the spring students on every team are honored not just for athletic prowess but for improvement and inspirational attitude.
