At St. Martin’s, athletics is an extension of our classroom.
Representing St. Martin’s athletic programs requires determination, dedication, and discipline. It demands the successful allocation of time and effort to academic responsibilities and athletic pursuits.
More than 75 percent of St. Martin’s Middle and Upper School students compete in interscholastic athletics, with more than 20 LHSAA-sanctioned teams striving to win championships. Nearly half of those athletes play another sport, participate in the arts, or other extracurricular activities and clubs. At St. Martin’s, students truly can do it all and pursue a variety of interests.
While St. Martin’s athletes are encouraged to be competitive, they acknowledge that the process of preparation and competition is more important than the end result.
The school’s athletic programs emphasize self-confidence, good sportsmanship, and teamwork. Athletes are encouraged to become students of their sports as they develop a meaningful sense of integrity, personal and collective responsibility, and discipline.
Success on the scoreboard is viewed as the product of a communal effort. Coaches don’t just call plays; they serve as teachers and mentors. Supportive relationships between teammates, teachers, coaches, and parents serve St. Martin’s athletes well as they develop the work ethic and leadership skills that will remain with them long after the final whistle blows.
Athletics at St. Martin’s is governed by the Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA). All student athletes must meet the guidelines for eligibility in accordance with the LHSAA rules.
