Saint Bede School Athletic Association

St. Bede School takes great care in the development of the WHOLE person – the religious, moral, social, and academic dimensions, as well as physical development.  We believe that participation in athletics is an important component to a well-rounded educational experience.  Students that are a part of the St. Bede Athletic Program will develop and strengthen their ethical and moral standards and gain life-long skills and values, which include leadership, self-discipline, integrity, teamwork, respect for rules and regulations, and participating with dignity and grace.

We proudly offer the following team sports to students in grades 4-8:

Fall

Girls' Volleyball

Boys' and Girls' Cross Country*

Boys' Soccer - NEW!  *Pending Coaches

Spring

St. Bede School Athletic Association
2023-24 Sports Registration


Online registration is now open for our ALL of our 2023-24 Sports!  In the event that we do not obtain coaches or enough participants for a certain team, the registration payment will be refunded.

Online Registration Deadlines:
Fall Sports close on Monday, July 10.
Winter Sports close on Monday, September 4.
Spring Sports close on Friday, January 5.

*Track Registration will close on Friday, March 1.

Please note, it is important that we honor these deadlines because teams are formed based on the amount of registrants at this date. We will cancel teams by this date if there are not enough registrants. We will add an additional team if we have enough for 2. The conference has scheduled meetings to create all of the game schedules, so it is imperative our teams are set by then.  The $65 athletic fee will go up to $80 for any registrations that come in after the deadline. 


Four things must be completed before participating in any of our athletic programs: Online registration, Physical, Fees, and Mandatory Parent Night

  1. Online Registration + Registration

Use the links below to complete the online registration process.

Our athletic fees are used to subsidize the cost of uniforms, supplies, equipment, referees, and tournament fees. The athletic fee for this season are $65.00 per sport, per child.  The fee goes up to $80 for any registrations completed after the deadline.  Payment will be accepted online with your registration via credit card or you can send in cash or a check made payable to “SBAA” to the school office in an envelope marked “Athletics.”

2. Physical

Students MUST have a valid physical on file with the Athletic Association prior to being allowed to participate. Physicals need to be dated within 395 days of participation. Athletics does not have access to the student's school file at the office - a separate one must be submitted. The physical must be kept current and on file with the Athletic Association and is the sole responsibility of the parent to provide an updated copy prior to expiration.

If you are unable to upload the physical during the registration process, please email a copy to angelakshannon@gmail.com.

3. Volunteer Buyout or Deposit (Volleyball and Basketball Only)

Volleyball and Basketball registrations are also subject to a Volunteer Deposit Fee.  Our Volunteer deposit fee is $300.00 per athlete. The success of our programs and our ability to maintain low registration fees depends on our ability to bring income into the program by hosting home games and tournaments. Therefore, for each individual sports season, we will communicate the number of shifts each parent has to cover in one of the following areas: gate, concessions, scoreboard, and scorebook. Parents who are unable to fulfill their required volunteer hours will be notified via email of the forfeiture of their deposit.

This deposit check should be made out to “SBAA” and dated January 1, 2024.  If a family meets their volunteer requirements, the deposit check can roll over to a subsequent season or be returned if the athlete is not participating in any additional sports.

Any parent wishing to forgo the required hours can do so for a buyout of $200.00 per athlete, per sport. This buyout is required to be communicated and paid within one week of the close of registration, with a current-dated check. This buyout can be completed online in our registration system, or with a check, pre-empted by an email, confirming the buyout to the athletic director.

We use signup.com to manage our volunteer hours for athletics (these hours do not count toward any required volunteer hours for school purposes, rather, they are in addition to those hours). Once the schedules are finalized, all parents will receive communication about their required shifts and a link to sign up.

Coaches are exempt from any volunteer hours for the sport they are coaching only.

Certain exceptions due to extenuating circumstances may be made with board approval.



4.  Attendance at the mandatory Athletics New Parent Night or completion of the Past Attendee - Athletics Parent Night Sign Off.  

Parents or Guardians new to St. Bede Athletics must attend the Athletics New Parent Night scheduled for

Tuesday, August 22, at 6:30PM.

If you have attended the Parent Night in the past and prefer not to attend the meeting again, you may complete the sign off link below:

Past Attendee - Athletics Parent Night Sign Off



Students will not be issued a uniform until we have a valid physical on file, the volunteer deposit OR buyout fee (only for volleyball and basketball) is submitted, and all registration is paid (unless special arrangements have been made directly with the athletic director ahead of time), and viewing of the Parent Night presentation is confirmed.

Any parent interested in coaching a sport during the season should reach out to express interest.

Coaches must be VIRTUS trained and complete all required background checks and protocols. 


Thank you for your continued support of the athletic program here at St. Bede School!

As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!

Looking forward to an awesome 2023-24 School Year –
