OTHER SPORTS:

As mentioned above, grades three through eight have the opportunity to participate in various CYO sports. These teams are under the authority of Star of the Sea Parish and are organized and maintained by the Parish Sports Committee.

Any teams representing the Star of the Sea community in any other sports league other than CYO, are not considered "official" school or parish teams and are organized and maintained by individual parents of children in the school, rather than the Sports Committee. However, these non-CYO teams are supported in spirit, even though they are considered independent from Star of the Sea Parish or School. Non-CYO teams do not have gym privileges.
