Noonan Sports Program
Pre-K through 4th grade: Our students learn and practice the skills for various sports – kickball, basketball, soccer, etc. - and play against each other on Saturday mornings throughout the year.
5th – 8th grade: Our Middle School Sports program is designed to give all students the opportunity to learn new sports and skills. We have a NO CUT policy and focus on team effort. Teaching team values is an important part of our program. As a team player, our athletes support one another and focus on what’s best for the whole versus the individual.
Athletic Philosophy and Mission Statement
Cindy Troxler, Athletic Director
Noonan Athletics is grounded in three principles: achievement, improvement, and enjoyment. It is our goal that Noonan athletes reach their full potential in the areas of competition, leadership, and sportsmanship. Our coaches aim to accomplish these goals by developing comprehensive training plans, maintaining high standards, and expecting total physical and mental commitment to the program. Representing Noonan Academy in athletics is a choice, not a right, and with that choice comes the responsibility of the student to give his/her all to achieve and excel.
This is the time for our athletes to refine their skills and begin competition against other private schools. The Noonan Philosophy is that while winning is a good outcome, it is never “at any cost.” For this reason, we have the "No Cut Policy".
Objectives of Participation in Middle School Athletics
- FUN for all participants
- Physical, mental, emotional, social growth
- Develop specific skills in the sport of choice
- Learn how to be a part of a team: develop characteristics such as loyalty, cooperation, and sportsmanship
Uniforms
Please make sure each student is fully prepared for each game. A multi-sport uniform is required for all sports and specific equipment may be required for some sports. In all cases a uniform must be purchased, in some cases it may be good to have two of them. All practice shorts MUST have at least a 9” inseam. Please get with each coach to see what the needs are for that sport. Items or uniform requirements may change from sport to sport or updated as needed.
