Purpose
The purpose of the Athletic Program is to provide the opportunity for St. Raphael students to participate in sports, to teach the fundamentals of the sport, to develop the skills of the participants, and to instill a sense of fair play in the sport environment.

Interscholastic Sports
Our Interscholastic Sports Program belongs to several conferences and includes volleyball, cross-country, basketball, and track & field. Unlike Naperville school districts 203 and 204 - which don't begin their sports program until Seventh Grade -students may begin athletic participation in Fifth Grade. Our school's “no cut” policy allows all students – who have the desire – to participate on a sports team. Wherever numbers allow, St. Raphael will sponsor an "A" and "B" team so athletes may compete at a level commensurate with their ability.

 Students are required to remain in good standing both academically and behaviorally in order to participate. Sportsmanship, teamwork, and fundamentals are the emphasis.
