WMA Athletics

I.              The objective of Waldron Mercy Academy’s athletic program is to provide instruction in skills, rules and strategy of each sport, combined with the building of character and good sportsmanship. Opportunity is provided for team experience at the appropriate level of performance.

 Instructional, Intramural, Junior Varsity and Varsity

II.             Our varsity teams participate in the Catholic Academy League. The league is competitive and playing time is not guaranteed. Depending on the number of registrants for any varsity team, except football, swimming and track, a try out and cut policy is in place. Each coaching staff will determine the number of student-athletes to be selected for each team, as the number of participants varies from sport to sport. Though Waldron Mercy’s Athletic Department’s philosophy is to offer every student an opportunity to participate on sports teams at the JV level, tryouts and cuts are a possibility at the JV level, as well, if the number of registrants exceeds a manageable level for our coaching staffs to handle. There will not, however, be cuts for the football team in the fall, swim team in the winter, and track team in the spring.
