Our Lady of Lourdes offers student sports through CYO. It is a parent and faculty supported program that focuses on fun, teamwork and sportmanship. The school offers four sports during the school year for students of all ages. Students must pay a one-time fee at the beginning of the school year to be eligible to play.
Soccer
In the Fall, the school fields soccer teams for students in grades 1 through 8. These teams play games once a week against other Catholic schools and practice once or twice a week, depending on age. Practices are at the school's state-of-the-art turf field and game locations are determined by the league. For students in Pre-K and Kindergarten, the school offers a weekly soccer clinic on the school's turf field.
Cross-Country
Also, for the first time this Fall, students in grades 1 through 8 may run cross-country. The team will practice once or twice a week and have races on Sundays. Races will be against other Catholic schools and loactions determined by the league. An additional, per-student fee may apply to students running cross-country.
Basketball
In the Winter, the school fields basketball teams for students in grades 3 through 8. The teams practice once or twice a week at the school gym and play games a locations determined by the league. For students in Kindergarten through 2nd grade, the school invites a privately run clinic to teach basketball fundamentals in the school gym. This clinic is available for a small additional fee.
Track
In the Spring, the school fields a track team for students in grades 1 through 8. The team practices near the school, often at the B-CC High School track, and competes in meets on weekends.
Spring Pre-K and Kindergarten
Also in the Spring, for students in Pre-K and Kindergarten, the school offers a weekly clinic on the school field, which has offered soccer and t-ball in the past.
