St. Scholastica Academy offers young women the opportunity to grow and excel in athletics. As a member of the Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA), SSA students compete, lead, and exhibit fair play in the Catholic tradition.
Every SSA student has the opportunity to try out for participation in the athletic program. Levels of participation are: VARSITY, JUNIOR VARSITY, and possibly JUNIOR HIGH. Student level of participation in the athletic program is determined by the head coach using the following as a guide: skill level, court/field awareness, potential ability, attitude, and leadership.
St. Scholastica Academy’s athletic program is varied, allowing students to participate in any number of sports throughout the school year. These sports involve a wide variety of skills and interests.
Sports are supported as an essential part of an active, balanced school life. Over 64% of SSA students are involved in athletics. Team sports require much time and commitment but are well worth the enjoyment and sense of accomplishment that comes from participation. Students may participate in only one sport per season.
