About St. Rose of Lima Athletics
St. Rose of Lima Academy (SRLA) is proud to offer a range of athletics to students of all grades. Our programs are designed as instructional and developmental to allow children with all levels of experience and athleticism participate in team sports. Our goal is to introduce students to working in teams and learning about sports. As a result, there are no tryouts and no cuts. All students are welcome to play, regardless of past experience in the sport. As students get older, competitiveness in the sport, intensity of the competition and travel increases.
Registration for Basketball Season is now open!
Deadline for registration is October 25th.
