We are proud to offer boys and girls the opportunity to participate in a top-notch competitive interscholastic sports program beginning in the fourth grade. Sports offered include basketball, volleyball, cross country, softball, baseball and touch football. Our sports program is staffed by experienced coaches and encourages good sportsmanship, fair play and the further development of a Christian attitude toward others. All students are eligible; therefore, no tryouts are required to make a team and students will not be cut based on athletic ability.
Philosophy of Sport
Saint Clement School is dedicated to developing the total person intellectually, socially and physically. The sports program is designed to introduce students to the challenges and pleasures of athletic competition in various sports. Team sports provide a forum within which students learn respect for others, cooperation, self-sacrifice and sportsmanship. Student athletes will learn to accept their talents, limitations and individual differences. This is the lesson we choose to emphasize: Winning is for a day; sportsmanship and ethics last a lifetime.
Sports Awards
The "Sports Awards" function is an annual event honoring all athletes at school. It emphasizes being part of a team, improvement of skills and overall sportsmanship. Everyone gets recognition for having participated in a sport and some are honored for outstanding achievement. It also honors one person outside the community for their outstanding efforts in athletics.
Clement Classic
The Clement Classic is a family sporting event held at DePaul’s Athletic Center every Spring on a Friday night. This fun evening features basketball, volleyball and sports stations. The boy and girl players especially enjoy the games where they compete against their parents! There are also games where the alumni play against the coaches! The entire school is invited to support and enjoy this family event! All proceeds go to support the Saint Clement Sports Program.
