"Welcome to St. Mary Athletics"
Who We Are
Athletics are a vital extension of the educational experience at St. Mary School, enriching the lessons learned in the classroom with real-world opportunities for growth and development. Our athletics program, led by the Saint Mary Athletic Association in Columbus, OH, is deeply rooted in our Catholic values, serving as a cornerstone of the Christian educational journey for each student-athlete.
​
Since its inception, St. Mary Athletics has become a proud symbol of excellence, community, and faith-driven sportsmanship. Our athletics program offers diverse opportunities designed to empower students to grow as athletes and individuals. From the victories of our championship soccer and volleyball teams to the exciting launch of our first-ever Cross Country team in Fall 2024, St. Mary Athletics continues to inspire teamwork, resilience, and leadership. With every practice, game, and milestone, we strive to build strong athletes and well-rounded individuals rooted in values that last a lifetime.
​
The Saint Mary Athletic Association promotes sportsmanship, teamwork, and skill development through various sports programs. Our association provides a platform for students to engage in healthy competition, learn essential life skills, and foster a sense of community. We are committed to creating a nurturing environment where young athletes can thrive and grow.
​
Through participation in sports, students are provided unique opportunities to enhance personal growth, develop essential skills, improve physical fitness, build meaningful relationships, and cultivate moral integrity. Athletics also foster emotional maturity, creativity, resilience, and a competitive spirit, all while shaping strong character.

Our program’s goals for student-athletes include:
-
Developing leadership skills and a sense of responsibility.
-
Strengthening team commitment and school pride.
-
Promoting sportsmanship, team spirit, and respect for others.
