IHM Sports Committee is an organization serving Immaculate Heart of Mary Grade School and Parish. It is the purpose of the Sports Committee to provide extra-curricular programs that will enhance the overall development of our children by promoting physical fitness and the positive characteristics of sportsmanship. We aim to complement the intellectual, spiritual, and academic goals of Immaculate Heart of Mary Grade School. Our programs are strictly for the enjoyment of the children involved, not for the glory of the spectators and coaches. All adults are expected to act in a manner that will be instructive, not destructive to the learning and maturing process of our children. The Committee will also coordinate athletic activities for adult members of Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish. These activities will foster stewardship, community, and participation by any and all members of the Church.
