Youth Dev BB - Time shifted

To avoid schedule overlapping issues with the WCMS teams that have a practice running right to 5:30, we are shifting our schedule.

Please arrive no earlier than 5:40pm, and practice will begin at 5:45 pm, and conclude at 6:45 pm

This a time cushion between practices, but also as the weather gets colder we don't want folks to have to wait outdoors in the cold ... kids/parents can come inside as they arrive.

St. John's Athletics joins Shenandoah Christian Conference

Hello SJA Families:


St. John's Athletics has joined a new athletic conference as a founding member, the Shenandoah Christian Conference (SCC). 

Following are some notes about the SCC.

- The conference has been founded as explicitly Christian in nature. The constitution is expressly intent on not allowing the gender confusion movement to gain any hold in its athletic programs.

- The geographic center of the conference is the northern Shenandoah Valley; most members are likely to be within 45 minutes of Front Royal.

-Many of St. John's historically regularly scheduled opponents are anticipated to eventually join.

- Joining the conference provides a core of conference opponents, with the opportunity to generate season schedules in a single day with other conference members. 

 

- St. Johns will still be able to schedule non-conference games, but would be obligated to schedule conference games and treat them as priorities over non-conference games.

- Joining the conference would subject St. John's to the rules and limitations of the conference. These principally concern eligibility of players. St. John's Athletics will have less discretion about accepting players that are NOT members of St. John's. such decisions would have to be submitted to conference members for approval.  

The founding members of the SCC are:

- Chelsea Academy

- John Paul the Great II Montessori Academy

- Legacy Academy

- Providence Christian Academy

- Saint John's Athletics
