Come and Play at VME
Villa Maria Elementary School endeavors to give each child the strength, power, endurance, flexibility, agility, coordination, balance, and speed to do easily and effectively the routine duties and tasks that daily living may bring. Villa students participate in the athletics program sponsored by the  Diocese of Erie.
 
These Basic Aims have been established to make our teams and our children the best they are capable of becoming:

To foster an environment in which the students are able to learn to make responsible choices, to develop self-discipline, and to recognize their own abilities
To foster growth in skills relating to the areas of citizenship, leadership, and decision making
To develop the well rounded individual by encouraging participation in a variety of activities
To encourage physical fitness as well as emotional controls
To foster good sportsmanship, team work and school spirit
To strive always for playing excellence that will produce competitive teams

Update from Athletics (August 2010)

Believe it or not Fall Sports are already underway or preparing to do so.
Girls JV Basketball is being coached by Jay Shimek and several open gym sessions have been held already. We have opened the JV team up to 4th graders and the turnout is great!
We are pleased to announce an assistant coach to the JV girls - Kelly Sawtelle. She played basketball in high school, and in college at Penn State Behrend, and Carlow University in Pittsburgh. Welcome to VME!
We have the same Cross Country coaches returning and are very excited for the arrival of our
new Cross Country uniforms, including warm‐up jackets, thanks to our Ben Roethlisberger football fundraiser. We are excited to welcome two new families to Villa as well as our new *Fun
Runners* coaches, the Zaphris Family and the Murphy Family.
Tennis preparations are underway. We are also working with a couple families to re‐organize our Villa Swim Relays during swim season (more details to follow).

We are still looking for a few extra coaches to fill in some spots in the following areas: swimming, JV boys basketball and varsity boys basketball. If interested please contact us.
We are also looking for more new or exciting ideas for sports fundraisers, to benefit the athletic department. If anyone is interested in this please contact us at 836‐2746 or athleticdirector@vmelementary.com. Thanks.
