St. Francis Athletics Partners with SportsLeader
Press Release
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – St. Francis High School and the Troubadour Athletic Department will partner with SportsLeader over the next four years to implement their Catholic virtue-based formation program for coaches.
“In offering athletics programs at St. Francis we seek to use sport as a context for physical, intellectual, and spiritual growth,” said Athletic Director Mark McGreevy. “Our partnership with Sports Leader represents a continuation of that great Troubie tradition in a very intentional way.”
SportsLeader, based in Louisville, Ky., will work with McGreevy and the St. Francis coaching staff to incorporate the methods and curriculum based on the four pillars of the program: Virtue, Mentoring, Ceremony and Catholic Identity.
“Through virtue-based formation of our coaches and student-athletes we will create opportunities for mentorship and ceremony while embracing our Catholic identity in an inclusive manner,” said McGreevy. “Our goal is that the student-athlete experience will significantly contribute to St. Francis graduating young women who change the world for the sake of peace and goodwill.”
McGreevy will coordinate the efforts with the SF coaches as the initial Director of Sports Ministry for the program.
