SMCS Athletics
At St. Mark Catholic School, we offer diverse programming to engage students of all ages in athletics and physical development. Our comprehensive athletics program provides opportunities for participation, skill-building, and teamwork from preschool through middle school.
Athletic Programs by Grade Level:
- Preschool and Kindergarten: Students participate in foundational sports programs such as T-Ball, Soccer Shots, and Little Laxers, fostering early athletic development.
- Grades K-3: Our Little Lions Basketball Program introduces young students to basketball in a fun and supportive environment.
- Grades 1-5: Students can join our cross-country and track teams, building endurance and confidence.
