Let us pray for that sports be an instrument of peace, encounter, and dialogue among cultures and nations, and that they promote values such as respect, solidarity, and personal growth.

Participation. Growth. Belonging.
JSerra Athletics is about more than competition, it's about helping every student discover their potential, build lasting friendships, and grow in character through sport.
Sport is a school of fraternity, a place of encounter, where people learn to accept one another, to understand one another, and to build community.

Letter From our VP of Athletics, Chris Ledyard
Sports are more than just strength and strategy. When properly directed, sports can transform a person in body, mind, and spirit. St. John Paul II once said, “Sports are not merely the exercise of muscles, but the school of moral values and of training and courage, in perseverance, and in overcoming laziness and carelessness. There’s no doubt that these values are of the greatest interest for the formation of personality, which considers sports not an end in itself, but as a means to total and harmonious physical, moral and social development.”
It is my belief that our student-athletes have been transformed through their sports experiences at JSerra. The virtue-based coaching and teaching they have received will stay with them for a lifetime. As they step into their future, I hope they will remember the courage, perseverance, dedication, and commitment they put forth to realize their dreams. May the excellence they have exhibited during their time here at JSerra carry on into their future with the strength of a Lion!
“Athletes do not determine their success, they determine their habits, and their habits determine their success.

Developing the Complete Student Athlete
JSerra Athletics is rooted in the belief that sports are one of the most powerful environments for human formation. Competition becomes a classroom for leadership, resilience, humility, accountability, courage, discipline, and love of team.
Sport understood in this way is not an end in itself but a means to the total and harmonious physical, moral and social development of the person.
- Pope St. John Paul II
