Welcome to SCA athletics. My name is Greg Jones. I am in my 13th year of service as St. Catherine’s Athletic Director and Physical Education teacher. I am a graduate of St. Catherine’s Academy, Servite High School, and California State University of Fullerton with a B.S. Degree in Child Development. I believe and instill four major factors in being successful in our athletic program which are desire, dedication, discipline, and determination to produce a winning program.
I believe that winning is not just based on having the highest score, but on what the cadets learn and how they play the game. Sportsmanship is a key element in the SCA program. St. Catherine’s athletes play with honor, integrity, and sportsmanship. These are all qualities that I learned in my schooling. As a teacher, I have the fortunate opportunity to give to the cadets at SCA the tools that I have learned by means of my education and life experiences.
SCA has won numerous football, basketball, and volleyball league championships. We are especially proud in recent years of our P.A.L. Basketball Championship in 2006-2007, our P.A.L. Football Championship in 2003-2004, and our P.A.L. Volleyball Championship in 2001-2002.
SCA has facilities that many elementary schools do not have on their campus, including an indoor swimming pool, a gymnasium, and a large football/soccer field. The Parochial Athletic League football championships are held here yearly in November with a crowd of 500 to 600 spectators and players on campus. SCA also plays host to basketball and volleyball P.A.L. play-offs. Our Cadets have use of a recreation room which includes ping pong, billiards, foosball, air hockey, and pinball games. Indeed, the Cadets of SCA have multiple athletic and recreational opportunities available to them.
Sincerely,
Gregory M. Jones
Athletic Director/P.E. Teacher
St. Catherine's Academy
