The purpose of the St. Clement Parish Athletic program is to provide a fun, instructive and positive sporting environment where parish children can learn sportsmanship and the fundamentals of a sport(s) along with other life skills that are consistent with the teachings of the St. Clement Catholic community.

Selected committee members will be expected to:

- Help develop and maintain a program that promotes for as many Parish students as possible, a variety of age appropriate sporting experiences that provide a fun, self-esteem building environment where sport (s) fundamentals, sportsmanship and other life skills are taught and reinforced which are consistent with the teachings of the St. Clement Catholic community.

- Perform the necessary oversight of all SCAC activities.

- Make a concerted effort to attend and participate in all committee meetings.

- Actively volunteer for various board activities.

- Become knowledgeable of and follow all appropriate Diocese, Parish and Committee rules,policies, guidelines and regulations to the best of their ability.

- Maintain appropriate communication channels with other board members, various league constituencies, coaches, parents and players.

The committee meets a minimum of two times a year with various committee work on an as needed basis. Prior athletic participation or having a child in the program, while desirable, are not absolute requirements. Rather the board actively seeks to have a representative cross-section of all thepeople of the St. Clement Parish community.
