Athletic Program
     The sports program at St. Elizabeth's aims to achieve these goals:
1) To develop an individual's physical fitness through the mastering of physical skills and the building of strength, coordination and endurance.
2) To develop self-reliance and maturity.
3) To broaden social experiences which will result in personal growth and understanding of good sportsmanship practices in a setting of healthy competition.
      All students at St. Elizabeth High School who meet athletic eligibility requirements of the State of Delaware and who are in good disciplinary and academic standing at St. Elizabeth's are eligible for participation in the program of interscholastic athletics. A member of the coaching staff in an attempt to make athletes more aware of the importance of their education will interview athletes encountering academic difficulties. A personal study period with a member of the staff may be required to continue competing in sports programs. St. Elizabeth's programs abide by the scholarship codes established by the ruling authority established in Delaware for scholastic sports.
      Students are ineligible to participate in extracurricular activities - whether practices or events - unless they are in school for at least a half day. This means they must be present in class from break until the end of the day. Attending the afternoon session of school does not con­stitute a half day present.
      Students should remember that our opponents are our guests and should be treated with hospitality and respect. Derogatory remarks and other demonstrations of poor sportsmanship are not appropriate and are inconsistent with the legendary Viking spirit.
