Athletics

At Most Blessed Sacrament, we believe in the power of sports to build character, foster teamwork, and promote physical and mental well-being. Our athletic program is dedicated to developing student-athletes both on and off the field, empowering them to achieve excellence in competition, academics, and life.

Our Purpose

Our purpose is to foster the physical, mental, and spiritual development of our students through competitive athletics. Guided by the principles of Catholic faith, we strive to promote excellence in sportsmanship, teamwork, and personal growth. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where every student-athlete can achieve their full potential, embodying the values of integrity, respect, and perseverance. Through our athletic programs, we aim to build character, inspire leadership, and encourage a lifelong appreciation for healthy living and community involvement.

Our Philosophy

We develop leaders through sports. Our coaching staff focuses on discipline, resilience, and respect — values that extend beyond the game.

Sports & Activities

We offer a variety of sports and physical activity programs for grades PK–8. We participate in the Catholic Schools Athletic Association (CSAA) for some sports. Our goal is to introduce students to different sports while promoting fitness, teamwork, and most importantly — fun!

Boys Tackle Football (CSAA)

Tackle Football is a full-contact team sport that emphasizes strength, discipline, and strategic thinking. Players compete to move the ball down the field and score touchdowns while executing complex plays on both offense and defense. We combine students from Most Blessed Sacrament and St. Thomas More to build a team.

The tackle football program promotes athletic development, teamwork, and resilience. With proper coaching, safety gear, and a strong focus on technique, students learn to play competitively while building character, leadership, and sportsmanship.

Girls & Boys Basketball (CSAA)

At our school, basketball promotes physical fitness, discipline, and sportsmanship. Whether you're a beginner learning the fundamentals or an experienced player competing at a high level, our basketball program encourages students to develop their skills, build confidence, and work as a team.

Cross Country

Cross Country is a distance running sport that challenges both the body and the mind. Athletes race across open terrain — such as grass, trails, and hills — competing individually and as a team. It builds endurance, determination, and mental toughness.

At our school, Cross Country is more than just running — it's about setting goals, supporting teammates, and pushing personal limits. With regular training, team events, and competitive meets, students develop strong fitness habits and lasting friendships.

Swim

We offer Swim Team at Most Blessed Sacrament through our partnership with Crawfish Aquatics.

The Swim Team offers students the opportunity to develop strength, endurance, and technique in a supportive and competitive environment. Swimming is both an individual and team sport, with events ranging from short sprints to long-distance races, as well as exciting relays.

At our school, the Swim Team focuses on personal improvement, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Swimmers train in all four strokes — freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly — while learning discipline, time management, and goal setting.

Whether you're racing for personal bests or cheering on your teammates, being part of the swim team builds confidence, character, and a strong sense of community.

Tennis

Tennis is a fast-paced, skill-based sport that can be played individually or in doubles. It challenges players to develop agility, focus, strategy, and precision as they rally and compete across the net.

At our school, the tennis program is practiced at Southern Oaks Athletic Club in Shenandoah. We welcome players of all skill levels — from beginners learning the basics to experienced athletes looking to refine their game. Students build confidence, coordination, and sportsmanship through regular practices and competitive matches.

Tennis is not only a lifelong sport, but also a great way for students to stay active, set goals, and enjoy friendly competition in a positive, team-oriented environment.

Girls Volleyball (CSAA)

At MBS, Girls Volleyball encourages players to develop strong fundamentals in serving, setting, passing, hitting, and blocking. More than just a game, it teaches collaboration, resilience, and leadership — both on and off the court.

Whether you're new to the sport or a seasoned athlete, our volleyball program offers a supportive environment to grow, compete, and represent our school with pride.

Track & Field

Track & Field is a dynamic sport that includes a wide variety of events — from sprints, distance runs, and relays to jumping and throwing competitions. There's something for everyone, whether you're fast on your feet, strong in the shot put, or skilled in the long jump.

Our Track & Field program helps students improve speed, strength, coordination, and technique. Athletes compete in both individual events and team relays, making it a great blend of personal achievement and teamwork.

GOLF

We are planning a golf program in Spring of 2027.

Cheer, Dance & Pep Squad

We also offer year-round Cheer, Dance, Pep Squad, and Louie's Little Pelicans.

At MBS, girls can participate in several Spirit Groups. Cheerleading is offered to students in Kindergarten through 8th grade through Louie's Little Pelicans (K–2), Pep Squad (3–4), and Middle School Cheer (5–8). 5th–8th grade girls may also be part of the Pelican Dance Team. These spirit squads cheer at several athletic games, such as football and basketball. They also perform at many events, including the fair and school pep rallies.

Parish Sports

The following sports are considered “Parish” Sports, meaning that the participants do not need to be students to participate. All PK–2nd grade students in our MBS Parish are invited to participate. All are welcome — no tryouts, just teamwork and fun!

Basketball (September/October)
Flag Football (October/November)
