St. Nicholas School offers the following team sports: basketball for boys and girls in grades 5-8;cheerleading for grades 5-8. They play all of the surrounding schools, public and private, that are usually within a half hour drive. Our sports programs are designed to teach the basic skills, teamwork, and respect necessary to play the sport while being the light of Christ on and off the court. While our teams are competitive, we strive to instill virtue in our student athletes just as the end of our team prayer states: “Let our lives praise you and bring glory to you.”
