Our Lady of the Woods Athletics
Janis O'Boye Athletic Director

The Archdiocese requires all coaches and volunteers to complete a background check.   
Go to Protecting All God's Children for instructions.
 

Mission Statement
Our mission statement at Our Lady of the Woods is to provide the youth of the parish an opportunity to participate in athletic events in order to foster sportsmanship, develop morals, and experience teamwork at its highest level. We expect all participants to learn, train, and play the games to prepare themselves for adult Catholic life. While we support each person playing and competing, it is experiencing teamwork, applying Catholic moral philosophy and developing sportsmanship
that is of primary importance.

A Prayer to see God in Youth Sports
We pray for young athletes...
Who, through sports, develop important values such as loyalty, perseverance, friendship and sharing.
We pray for coaches...
Who appreciate the gifts of all players and have respect for the game, 
who place players before winning and value sportsmanship.
We pray for parents...
Who love their children for who they are, not how they perform.
We pray for officials...
Who inspire fair play and protect the integrity of the game and players.

O God, we pray for all who participate in the games;
may their hearts be open to see your presence in and through sports;
may their minds remember the element of fun reflective of your Spirit;
may their bodies reflect the gracefulness and wonder of your creation.
Let all who play the games be enriched by your presence in the gym and on the fields.
Amen
