Athletics

Welcome to Cardinal Athletics!

The administration of Pope Francis Preparatory School believes that athletics are an extension of the classroom, affording student-athletes opportunities for growth, learning, leadership and excellence. Pope Francis offers a variety of sports in the fall, winter and spring seasons. We encourage students of all abilities to get involved in our athletic programs. Please contact our Athletic Director, John Goda, if you have any questions about our sports teams or if you need additional information.

Baseline Concussion Testing is required prior to athletic participation for all freshmen, juniors and transfer students. The instructions for the test can be found here. (if link does not open for you, just right click on it, click “Copy Link Address” and then paste it in your browser)  

ATGENIUS PROFILE: All athletes should complete/update their athletic profile on ATGenius prior to the start of each season. Instructions for signing up for ATGenius can be found here. Please be aware that you do need a school issued email address in order to complete your profile.
