On behalf of all of our coaches and student-athletes here at Saint Francis, we welcome you to the class of 2029! We are excited to have you as a part of the family and hope you will consider playing a sport during your time here.
We view sports as an extension of the classroom and feel strongly about the life lessons of effort, teamwork, and sportsmanship being our definitions of success. Below is some important information about our sports programs.
Participation
Saint Francis tries to keep as many students involved in our athletic programs as possible. Last year, approximately 1200 students participated in our athletic programs.
Some of our teams are what we call "non cut" sports. These programs (cross country, track, swimming, and wrestling) do not have a tryout period. As long as you show up every day and fulfill the team requirements, you will be part of the program. The rest of our programs have a 3 day tryout period after which the coaching staff will create the team roster. Freshman ONLY are allowed to tryout for 2 "cut" sports in the same season. If you tryout for one and do not make it, you will have two days to tryout for another "cut" sport. A student who is not selected for a "cut" sport can always walk onto a "non cut" sport and be a part of that athletic program.
The school also greatly encourages participation in our athletic programs by being a part of a team as a manager, statistician, film crew, social media manager, or student trainer. There are many great ways to be involved!
Get Involved! Register for our Summer Camps
Many of our incoming freshman students will participate in our athletic programs by coming to our summer camps as a way to meet future classmates and coaches. Here is a full list of our summer athletic camps!
Tryouts Dates for Fall Sports
Our Athletic Office has published the dates and times for tryouts for our fall sports. Freshmen that are accepted and coming to Saint Francis, can participate in summer workouts with the Saint Francis athletic program. Here is the link to summer sessions. Please note that this is a live document that will continue to be updated throughout the spring.
Athletic Physical Clearance
Incoming students who are interested in participating in Athletics will also need to upload their Doctor Physical Exam form to HomeCampus, the Athletic Clearance system used by our Athletic Office. Families will not be able to access HomeCampus for the upcoming school year until the end of May. Here are the instructions provided by our Athletic Office. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Athletic Trainers: scottheinrichson@sfhs.com, laraacedillo@sfhs.com or salmagilliard@sfhs.com.
