Athletics

Mission

The mission of the Annunciation Athletics Program is to provide a positive and supportive learning environment rooted in Catholic teachings that offers students in grades 4 through 8 the opportunity to enjoy athletic competition while enriching their educational experience, fostering personal growth, and building character both on and off the field of play. 

 

Our Philosophy

Annunciation believes that athletics are an essential component of a student's overall educational experience. Participation in interscholastic athletics at ACS is a privilege that carries significant responsibility. The athletics program provides opportunities beyond the classroom to promote: 

  • Self-discipline 
  • Positive self-image 
  • Healthy competition 
  • Teamwork and cooperation 
  • Leadership and responsibility

 

Annunciation fields teams in the Catholic Youth Athletic Association (CYAA), Great Hearts Middle School League (GHMSL), and Canyon Athletic Association (CAA).
