Athletics

Mission of St. Andrew Catholic School Athletics:

The St. Andrew Catholic School Athletic Program dedicates itself to the pursuit of excellence in athletics within the framework of a Catholic community and in accordance with its primary role as an educator and spiritual guide. The athletics program is committed to providing opportunities for each individual student-athlete to reach his/her highest potential while developing the qualities and spirit of a Catholic Christian.

 

Philosophy:

We recognize that the imperishable crown offered by Jesus Christ far exceeds any of the perishable crowns or trophies offered by this world. As a Catholic school, St. Andrew upholds Christian values and principles.  Though our athletic teams strive to win in the sense of having the best score, we recognize the real value of Catholic school athletics is realized only if it fosters the development of the human person — both in spirit and body — by cultivating Christian character, strengthening personal integrity and responsibility, and promoting the pursuit of excellence in all endeavors. Participation on a team is a privilege. With this privilege comes responsibilities in the areas of preparation, attitude, sportsmanship, and academics.  These responsibilities exist in and out of school and in athletic and non-athletic settings.

 

Conference Affiliation:

St. Andrew School participates in the Grand Strand Middle School League (GSMSL) a conference comprised of area Christian and Private Schools. In addition to playing conference games, St. Andrew teams often play other schools in or around the Myrtle Beach area. Thus, St. Andrew's athletes play students from diverse backgrounds and skill levels.
