Program Overview

 

The St. Barnabas Parish Athletic Program provides a participatory, recreational and competitive sports program as an extension of the St. Barnabas School academic program.  Participants learn the fundamentals of each sport and are given the opportunity to develop a sense of good sportsmanship, fair play and team spirit.  We will foster, through athletics, the spiritual, physical, and educational growth of our Christian youth.

St. Barnabas Parish is concerned with 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 part of student development.  We serve the school community through its students, and the parish community through the students actively involved in the Religious Education program.

Pursuant to language in the Athletic Board By-Laws, we wanted to provide every school and parish community member an overview of the role of the Family Liaison. Generally, the Family Liaison should be the first person that the parent, guardian or caretaker of a student speaks to if they have an issue or concern with something that is occurring with the student’s team. The following language from the Athletic Board’s By-Laws is instructive:

Thereafter, the Board will work with the Family Liaison and agree upon a recommendation for resolution of the concern. The Family Liaison will then contact the person who had the concern and communicate the Board’s decision.

We hope this is helpful. If there are questions regarding the policy, please contact the Board Chair, Joe Herber, at [email protected].
