Achievements

Sports Program
St. Mary Magdalen Catholic School is a member of Catholic Youth Sports (CYS). At the beginning of the 2025-2026 academic year, CYS became a part of the Diocese of Orlando. CYS began in 1991 with approximately 250 student-athletes and has grown to serve more than 5,000 over the past 35 years. CYS is dedicated to the development of youth sports throughout the Catholic parishes of Central Florida. The vision of the league is to develop players in mind, body and soul to help them grow as individuals, both physically and spiritually.

The grade school program is an instructional and recreational league that is designed to prepare students in grades K through Grade 5 for the middle school competitive level. The middle school program is a competitive league for grades 6 through 8 including teams from other Catholic schools within the Diocese of Orlando. Through proper instruction, training, and encouragement, players are taught to be lifelong champions, both on and off the field of play. It promotes sports for children in the Central Florida Catholic churches.  

We field teams in basketball, soccer, track, flag football and volleyball. The program strives to develop the students by teaching the fundamental skills of each sport, by instilling the concept of discipline and teamwork, and promoting a spirit of Christian sportsmanship. Both girls and boys may participate in soccer, volleyball, basketball, flag football, and track. Some of the partner schools may also run a cheerleading program outside of CYS.

Standards for Participating
Academics are expected to be the primary concern of students and parents. A student must maintain an overall “C” average or above to participate and conduct must be satisfactory. Students who receive a failing grade in any core subject on the report card or progress report will be ineligible to participate until improvement is shown. Middle School students’ grades will be evaluated weekly using the student-athlete grade tracking sheet. The areas that will be reviewed by teachers and administration are grades, missing assignments, behavior, and class preparedness. The school administration and Athletic Director reserves the right to deny students the right to participate in extracurricular activities.
