Parental Involvement

Volunteers make our vibrant sports program possible. Volunteers are the glue that binds hundreds of young athletes and dozens of coaches to create a memorable experience for our children each season. We can’t offer such great opportunities without you. 

In recent years there has been a decline in parents willing to volunteer. The responsibility has been shifted to the few, rather than shared by the many. While ALL of our lives are busier than ever, it is time for ALL families to step up and volunteer. 

Coaches

Coaches serve on a voluntary basis and Blessed Sacrament Catholic School appreciates the time, talent, and effort devoted to this act of stewardship.  The coaching method should be very positive with an emphasis on the players being good sports, working together as vital members of a team, building a positive self-image, learning the specific athletic skills involved in the sport, and having a good time. No one may participate in coaching without first being approved by the administration and having met Diocesan requirements (VIRTUS training). 

Athletic Fees

To maintain the quality of our sports programs at Blessed Sacrament Catholic School, modest athletic fees are charged for all sports, aligning with the financial policies of private schools in Savannah.To help offset the cost of our sports program, an athletic fee will be charged for all sports.  Football fees are $75 per student and all other sports are $25 per student. Fees are billed and scheduled for automatic payment through FACTS upon receipt of the roster from the coach of each sport.  These fees are non-refundable should the student either decide not to play the sport or the student is removed from the team during the season.
