Athletics
We recognize that athletics help build a strong sense of community and identity within our student body, as well as challenge the individual person. At Pope John Paul the Great, we have a full and impressive sports program, with facilities to match.
Athletic teams at Pope John Paul the Great include football, baseball, softball, basketball, volleyball, lacrosse, soccer, and cheerleading. Additional sports will be added depending upon student interest.
Competitive sports will begin at the JV level with our first freshman and sophomore classes. Being part of our first teams, means more individualized coaching, more playing time, and more opportunities to shine at big games against the other teams in our league! Varsity sports will be added as the school expands to the 11th grade in 2009.
Our brand new football, baseball, and soccer/lacrosse fields are developed and being used by our teams. In addition, Prince William County will be building a sports park adjacent to our campus, which we have been granted access to upon completion. These extra fields will allow us to spread out and offer more sports during the same season, without scheduling conflicts.
Our campus also features a main gym, an auxiliary gym, weight room, wrestling room, athletic training facilities, and separate Varsity and Junior Varsity locker rooms. Join us for a game sometime soon!
