COMMUNITY
Villa Booster Organization
Playing sports teaches life lessons such as teamwork , accountability , self-confidence , responsibility , and self-discipline , while preparing students to face life ' s challenges and enhance their physical and mental abilities . Engaging in sports is also an excellent way for students to stay healthy and fit .
Students at St . Ursula Villa have the opportunity to participate in baseball , softball , basketball , tennis , soccer , golf , and volleyball . In addition , we offer track-and-field ( in partnership with St . Gertrude ), triathlon club , ski club , and Cougar football ( in partnership with St . Mary and Cardinal Pacelli ).

The sports program is governed by the Booster Board comprised of parents , teachers , and administrators . We are grateful for more than 80 parents , alumni , and teachers who give their time and talents each year to coach our students .
Any student in kindergarten through 8 th grade who desires to participate in Booster-sponsored sports can do so without a “ pay-to-play ” requirement . St . Ursula Villa Boosters ’ fall fundraiser , led by the Jr . High Student Council , raises the funds required to operate the program , covering uniform , league fees , referee fees , equipment , and maintenance of our soccer fields . The Boosters also organize programs such as Eaglet soccer for our preschool / kindergarten students and hold a variety of camps , clinics , and training sessions .
