Athletics

Participation in extra-curricular athletics is encouraged in order to develop physical, mental, and emotional well-being, and to foster a lifetime interest in physical activity. Supervision of the athletic program is the responsibility of the athletic director in consultation with the principal and pastor, when necessary.

A variety of sports are offered on a year-round basis. Student interest, demand, and Archdiocesan opportunities determine the kinds of sports activities made available. Both school and community activities are publicized for the benefit of all. Students are encouraged to participate in suitable grade level athletics.

Catholic Schools Athletic League (CSAL)

Our Lady of Loreto Catholic School’s athletic programs are made possible through our participation and as one dimension of our ministry. A school CSAL program justifies its existence and the sacrifice and expense it entails only if it makes better Catholics of its participants. In CSAL programs, emphasis rests not on the number of games won or lost, but on the participants’ attitude in victory or defeat. Learning how to lose is just as important as learning how to win. Learning how to win graciously is more important than winning itself.

The Catholic Schools Athletic League is part of the co-curricular activities available to students enrolled full-time in Archdiocese of Denver Catholic Schools. Co-curricular activities include the academic decathlon, athletics, spelling, speech, and the art fair.

The following sports are offered at Our Lady of Loreto:

Christian example and deportment are expected of all students while in attendance at extracurricular events or activities. Students at Our Lady of Loreto Catholic School should be models of mature, responsible, Christian behavior. Conduct unbecoming a Christian student, whether inside or outside of school, may be reason for suspension and/or dismissal from school.
