Ocala's St John "Saints" Boys & Girls Basketball

Athletic Mission Statement... To establish an interscholastic athletic department that enhances the Christian educational process of our students. Through participation in athletics, student-athletes will have the opportunity to develop physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. They will recognize the presence of God in oneself and in others during competition. Athletics provide the opportunity for the student-athlete to exhibit a progression of physical skills and knowledge of a particular sport, enabling him/her to apply these skills and knowledge to new situations in a variety of learning formats. Student-athletes, coaches, and parents are called upon to work together in a true spirit of sportsmanship to assist in creating an environment in which those Christian values can be revealed, tested, and proven relevant both to participants and the entire school community. Each member of our community seeks to encourage, instill, and foster such growth and development in all student-athletes.
