ST. ELIZABETH SCHOOL
Athletics Program
|
St. Elizabeth's Athletic Committee strives to meet the athletic and active needs of our children each year. We offer volleyball, flag football and basketball for our younger grades. For our older grades we play intramural flag football, volleyball and basketball in the Parochial League of Kansas City (PLKC). Cross Country is offered in grades 3rd-8th.
Athletics at St. Elizabeth School is a fun way for kids to get involved with classmates, learn a sport, develop character and stay in shape. The STE's Athletic Committee is a volunteer group that organizes, funds and promotes participation in parochial league sports. 
Due to conditions of COVID-19, St. Elizabeth School is suspending participation in intramural sports programs.

2020-2021 Athletic Committee Members:

My Dad is my most inspirational athletic figure. He spent hours and hours in the backyard teaching me the right way to shoot a ball, dribbling drills and playing a classic game of horse. He was also known up at St. Elizabeth's during Moms and Pops as the free throw king! My Dad (aka “Coach Moose") always taught me to give it my best and give it my all.

It's hard not to have your big brother be the most influential person in your life, and that transcends everything from music to sense of humor to work ethic and of course to sports. I got interested in hockey because he was. I played hockey because he did. We've played on teams together well into adulthood. Hockey is a major part of my life and I have him to thank for that.

When I was a kid, my Dad wasn’t always the most patient with three boys and me running around the house. But he was always the most patient coach. He didn’t see the merit in breaking you down to build you up. He encouraged, inspired and took his time.

My most influential person regarding sports is my high school track coach because even when I came in dead last, he was yelling and cheering and telling me how great I did.
Kids: Isaac (Junior/SME), Eva (Freshman/SME), Norah (6th) |

Tara fitzgerald, volunteer coordinator
|
Bill Snyder is an athletic influence for me. I started at K-State when they started being good at football, so he was obviously a big deal. I read his book Leadership Lessons and was impressed by his hard work ethic, dedication and passion on and off the field.
Kids: Colin (Sophomore/Rockhurst), Delaney (8th) |

matt watson, moms and pops and concessions coordinator

My Dad brought us up in a sport crazy household. My siblings and I all caught the bug for sports at a very early age. He coached my brother and I in Baseball and my sister in Softball. He taught us all the importance of hard work, teamwork and great sportsmanship. Kids: Landon (4th), Bennet (1st)

Coach Mike Krzyzewski’s philosophy in coaching and in life is “Next Play.” Coach K says that what you have just done is not nearly as important as what you are doing right now. These are words I try to live by, and I use Coach K's philosophy while coaching and raising my boys.

I like a quote from my High School Football Coach, "Good, Better, Best...never let it rest until your good is better, and your better is the best." Growing up, I was a member of the Football, Wrestling and Track teams. The memories of practice and games is a source of pride for me as they taught so many lessons that have paved a foundation for my career. Watching our kids participate in youth sports, I get that same sense of joy that my parent's experienced. Kids: Charlie (6th), Tommy (3rd), Maggie (2nd)

My Dad always taught me to stick with it and "rub some dirt on it" when the times got tough; a lesson I still use today when I'm about to give up. He was always willing to coach me if I was willing to put in the work, no matter the sport.
Kids: Lily (5th), Charlotte (3rd) |

My dad was the most influential for me growing up. He took the time to play catch or shoot hoops or go the golf course whenever I asked. He always told me that I couldn't change what was in the past and to always look ahead to the next point, shot, etc.
