Sports Physical Form
PLEASE NOTE: For the 2008-2009 school year a new Sports Physical Form is required. The top of the form should read "PIAA Comprehensive Initial Pre-Participation Physical Evaluation." The old form (which reads "Sports Participation Health Record") will no longer be accepted. Please be sure that you are using the correct form. If you have any questions please contact Jackie Onks at jonks@sjprep.org.
The Philosophy of "mens sana in corpore sano" - "a healthy mind in a healthy body" has long been a part of Prep education. Preppers strive for excellence in athletics as well as academics. In striving for success, the members of the Prep coaching staff endeavor to instill the qualities of leadership, loyalty, and sportsmanship. The student athlete learns to cope with winning and losing - to be humble in victory and proud in defeat.
All of the Prep's athletic teams compete in the Philadelphia Catholic
League (16 schools) with most of them participating in the eight-member
Southern Division.
Fall: Cross Country, Football (varsity, junior varsity and freshmen), Golf
and Soccer (varsity, junior varsity and freshmen).
Winter: Basketball (varsity, junior varsity and freshmen), Bowling
(varsity and junior varsity), Indoor Track, Swimming and Wrestling

In addition, the Prep offers a number of sports at the club level including Ice Hockey (Varsity AAA, Varsity A, JV) Rugby (A side, B side, U-16) and Ultimate.
