SJPII Athletics
The nature, scope and purpose of the St. John Paul II student program is derived from our school philosophy, which fosters a responsible use of personal freedom in all aspects of life. Recognizing the diversity of intelligence, creativity and potential inherent in a student body, the school designs its programs to meet the intellectual, spiritual, moral, emotional, social and physical needs of its students. We, therefore, consider the extracurricular activities at the school to be a major component of our total educational program. As such, we encourage all students to participate in extracurricular activities according to their needs and abilities.
Our Philosophy
The purpose of Catholic Secondary Education is to ensure that Catholic truths and values are fully integrated with the student-athlete’s life and educational program. The essence of SJPII athletics is competition within a framework of exemplary sportsmanship. Each student-athlete is expected to exhibit behavior consistent with the Catholic ideals of St. John Paul II Catholic High School. This includes respect for him/herself, game officials, teammates, coaches, spectators, and facilities and equipment. A SJPII student-athlete should be gracious in victory and maintain his/her composure in adversity. Anything less is inconsistent with the athletic ideals of SJPII. Promoting good sportsmanship, respect for one’s self, one’s teammates, competitors, and officials engenders an appropriate attitude toward competition.
John Paul II is affiliated with the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) and as such is bound by all rules and regulations associated with this organization.
